How do socio-economic factors interplay with cultural differences in cancer care?
Socio-economic factors often intersect with cultural differences to impact access to cancer care. In low-income communities, regardless of cultural background, there might be barriers such as limited healthcare infrastructure, lack of insurance, and lower health literacy. Cultural beliefs about the cost and value of treatment can further complicate the situation, making it essential for healthcare providers to address both socio-economic and cultural factors in their care strategies.
