This week, the?American Association for Cancer Research?published their annual Cancer Disparities Progress Report for 2024 and one thing is made clear throughout: inequities in cancer care span the entire cancer journey—from screening to treatment and survivorship—underscoring the need for systemic change. Some key highlights from the report: 1?? Cancer Screening Inequities: Despite its life-saving potential, only 64% of eligible Asian and American Indian/Alaska Native individuals are up to date with cervical cancer screening, compared to 78% of White individuals, highlighting access barriers in preventive care. 2?? Treatment Inequities: Black and Hispanic women with triple-negative breast cancer (an aggressive type of breast cancer) are 18% and 13% less likely than White women to receive guideline-adherent treatments, leading to worse outcomes and higher mortality. 3?? Survivorship Care Inequities: Medically underserved populations face higher cancer mortality and worse quality of life after treatment, due to limited follow-up care, more side effects, and financial strain. Everyone should have access to quality care, regardless of who they are or where they live. This requires an approach that is culturally and linguistically accessible, reduces financial burdens, and breaks down logistical barriers for all.
