Analysis reveals higher mortality risk in Black patients with advanced-stage laryngeal cancer, suggesting healthcare access disparities play a role.

NH-Black patients had a higher risk of death compared to NH-White patients in treatment-stratified analyses.
Survival rates among NH-Black patients receiving chemoradiation were significantly lower, indicating treatment disparities.
