Reducing Racial Disparities in Cancer Outcomes
By: Kathy Giusti and Richard G. Hamermesh
Abstract
A disproportionate number of Black patients die from cancer in the United States. A key to addressing this problem is enrolling more Black patients in clinical trials. A strategy consisting of these three parts can help accomplish this goal: 1) centralize information about clinical trial sites and clinical registries to identify sites able to enroll more Black patients; 2) provide assistance to sites that have great potential to recruit Black patients for clinical trials and registries but little experience in doing so; and 3) engage Black cancer patients to increase their awareness of and willingness to participate in trials and registries.
