What initiatives are in place to address these disparities?
Several initiatives aim to reduce disparities in cancer care. Programs like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have expanded healthcare coverage, making it more accessible to lower-income individuals. Additionally, organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute are working on community outreach programs, education, and research to address these disparities. Efforts are also being made to increase the number of healthcare providers in underserved areas and to provide culturally competent care.
