What is cancer disparity?
Cancer affects racial, ethnic, and social groups differently. Ethnic and racial minorities, impoverished people, and sexual and gender minorities (LGBT+) are typically affected more negatively with cancer. The basis for this disparity is often late detection of cancer, poor access to precision medicine, non-inclusion in clinical trials, and inadequate evaluation for potential difference in the biology of their cancer.
