Are There Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Cancer Care?
Yes, racial and ethnic disparities in cancer care are well-documented. Minority populations often face multiple barriers to cancer care, including socioeconomic disadvantages, cultural and language differences, and discrimination within the healthcare system. These factors contribute to higher cancer incidence and mortality rates among certain racial and ethnic groups. Efforts to address these disparities must focus on culturally competent care and targeted interventions.
