NCCN Roundtable Tackles Disparities in Cancer Care

Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network : JNCCN

Abstract

During a roundtable on disparities in cancer care at the recent NCCN 22nd Annual Conference: Improving the Quality, Effectiveness, and Efficiency of Cancer Care, panelists from a variety of disciplines brought professional and personal experiences to the discussion of eliminating cancer disparities and reducing differences in incidence and mortality rates among minority populations. The panel agreed that these issues must be addressed through research in prevention, screening, clinical trials, and equal access to quality care.
