“A new American Cancer Society report reveals new research on the status of cancer disparities in the United States.
Among the findings in the biennial report:
- Cancer mortality rates are higher among adults living in rural areas, certain congressional districts, and among those with lower socioeconomic status.
- Black and American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) people continue to bear a substantially higher burden of cancer deaths, overall and from major cancers.
‘Under-resourced and minoritized groups continue to disproportionally experience barriers to cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, quality treatment, and survivorship, largely reflecting disparities in social determinants of health,’ said Farhad Islami, senior scientific director, cancer disparity research at the ACS and lead author of the study, in a press release.
‘Broad implementation of existing evidence‐based interventions can reduce cancer disparities. We also need more research to identify factors that contribute to cancer disparities and other effective and tailored interventions, especially in populations that have been underrepresented in research studies.’ “
