The significant advancements in cancer prevention, detection and treatment seen over the past three decades have led to a general decline in cancer mortality rates; however, this decline is not consistent across all populations and demographic groups due to the persistence of disparities in access to care and optimal outcomes. This activity will provide an overview of the health disparities among segments of the population and review their impact on cancer incidence and mortality rates. It will also examine how to best promote preventive measures, incorporate culturally competent care, advocate for increased access to quality health care, and enhance patient education in order to improve health equity and provide individuals with a greater opportunity to achieve optimal health outcomes after a cancer diagnosis.
