Talk
The routine integration of precision medicine has vastly reduced cancer mortality, but have also widened disparities gaps by race and ethnicity. Multilevel etiologies include lack of equitable delivery of precision cancer care among racial and ethnic minorities and populations with low income. Partnerships with stakeholders at each level can overcome such disparities.
