Several barriers hinder genetic equity in cancer care:
Socio-Economic Status: Individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds may lack access to advanced genetic testing and treatments. Geographic Location: Rural and underserved areas often have limited healthcare infrastructure and resources. Racial and Ethnic Disparities: Minority populations may face systemic biases and lack of representation in genetic research. Education and Awareness: Lack of knowledge about genetic options and their benefits can prevent individuals from seeking these services.
