Statement of Need

Research shows significant disparities in cancer screening. Research suggests that Non-White people and LGBTQIA+ populations are screened at lower rates and at a later time when compared with Non-Hispanic White and non-LGBTQIA+, leading to cancer identification at later stages. Treatment choices are also affected by disparities, when non-White and LGBTQIA+ patients are offered less effective treatment options.

Front-line providers can improve identification, screening, and referral to address racism and disparities in cancer care. In this CME Outfitters presentation, expert faculty will discuss the impact of racial/ethnic and gender-based racism and discrimination on routine cancer screenings in addition to providing actionable strategies healthcare providers (HCPs) integrate into practice to improve disparities in cancer screenings for racial/ethnic groups, women, transgender patients, and non-binary individuals.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the impact of racial/ethnic and gender-based racism and discrimination on routine cancer screenings.
  • Integrate strategies to address racism and disparities in routine cancer screenings for racial/ethnic groups, women, transgender patients, and non-binary individuals.
