Race and ethnicity play a significant role in cancer disparities. For instance:
- African Americans: They are more likely to be diagnosed with and die from cancers such as colorectal and breast cancer compared to their white counterparts. - Hispanic Population: They often face barriers due to language and cultural differences, impacting their ability to receive timely and effective care. - Native Americans: This group has seen increasing rates of cancer incidence and mortality, partly due to limited access to healthcare services.
