Abstract B30: [Advocate Abstract:] Health disparities among Latinos with pancreatic cancer

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to examine health disparities and quality of care received by Latino patients with pancreatic cancer. We connect with many Spanish speakers through our Patient Services program and will be conducting interviews to determine the level of care Latino patients are receiving. We are hoping to identify if they have any issues with accessing cancer care, whether they are being seen in a community oncology center, and how often they experience insurance access issues. The goal is to determine the needs of this very specific community to help us understand how to best guide them and provide them with resources. Citation Format: Fatima Zelada-Arenas.
