Statement of Need

In the United States, cancer is a condition that affects millions of people every year. However, there are significant health disparities that impact people diagnosed with cancer, especially those from racial and ethnic underserved populations. From screening to stage at diagnosis to treatment choices to outcomes, these health disparities detrimentally affect every level of care and impact overall outcomes. It is imperative that clinicians understand the root causes of these disparities and recognize the pervasive impact they have on cancer care and outcomes in underserved patients.

In this CME Outfitters Snack, expert faculty will guide learners through a thorough review of current data underscoring the existence of racial and ethnic disparities within cancer care, as well as how systemic racism and social determinants of health contribute to these health disparities. They will also provide actionable steps for clinicians to take to achieve more equitable care within the field of oncology.
