Why this is important?
Cancer health disparities are one of the foremost public health challenges in the United States. Racial and ethnic minority populations are among the most vulnerable U.S. population groups experiencing severe disparities when it comes to treatment for cancer. Although there has been some success in reducing cancer incidence and health disparities, the overall cancer death rates among racial and ethnic groups are less pronounced now than they have been in the past two decades.
