Beyond race and ethnicity: a scoping review of supportive care needs and barriers for immigrant AYA cancer survivors.
Review in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo map the current literature regarding the unmet supportive care needs, structural barriers, and healthcare transition challenges faced by immigrant adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors.
methodsFollowing JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across major databases (including PubMed and Embase) to identify peer-reviewed studies focusing on foreign-born or immigrant AYA cancer survivors (aged 15-39) and their long-term survivorship experiences.
resultsSix studies met the inclusion criteria. Immigrant AYAs face a compounding matrix of linguistic, financial, and legal barriers that limit healthcare access. The transition from pediatric to adult oncology highlights a profound disconnect between individualistic Western healthcare models and collectivist, family-centered decision-making norms. Furthermore, post-migration acculturation processes sometimes erode baseline healthy behaviors, worsening financial toxicity and long-term psychosocial outcomes.
conclusionsCurrent survivorship frameworks fail to adequately account for the migratory process, often conflating immigration status with broad racial categories. Systemic changes are required in oncology research to capture granular data on nativity and length of residency to expose and address these hidden disparities. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Culturally responsive survivorship programs, dedicated language services, and family-inclusive patient navigation models are essential to prevent care attrition, reduce post-treatment social stigma, and ultimately optimize the long-term quality of life for immigrant AYA survivors.
