Nirmala Bhoo Pathy: The need for race and ethnicity data in cancer control
Nirmala Bhoo Pathy, Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at University Malaya, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper she co-authored with colleagues published in JCO Global Oncology:
” ‘Without comprehensive racial insights, our cancer control strategies are fatally flawed.’
Our latest commentary in JCO Global Oncology highlights why the systematic collection of race and ethnicity data in cancer care is no longer optional – it’s essential.
From missed diagnoses to inequitable access and poorer outcomes, racially and ethnically minoritized groups continue to be sidelined in cancer control strategies across the globe.”
