BUT ONLY
COST OR LACK OF INSURANCE
STUDY OF NCI CANCER-TREATMENT FOUNDthat uninsured patients representedonly
5. 4% of all trial participants 8
WHO ARE UNDERREPRESENTED?11-17
10 % of 15-to-19 year-old cancer patients enter into clinical trials, while 60% under age 15 take part
LOW INCOME
RURAL
Low socio-economic status has a negative impact on clinical research participation
Suburban geographic areas had the highest overall accrual rate
OTHERS Others who are underrepresented include those with special health needs (disabled, chronic illness, comorbidities) and the uninsured
NCI trials demonstrated that women were less likely than men to be enrolled in colorectaland lung cancer trials
WOMEN
ETHNIC Collectively racial/ethnic groups representedless than 10% of participants in trial testing cancer drugs in 1995-1999
ADOLESCENTS
2/3 of cancer patients are age 65+; account for less than of trial enrollees
