Presidential Panel Calls for Research into Cancer Disparities

Presidential Panel Calls for Research into Cancer Disparities | CSR News - Justmeans: "- The number of minorities with cancer will likely double by 2030, and the nation’s cancer agenda needs to adapt accordingly, says a report released Thursday by the President’s Cancer Panel.
Minority and other underserved populations (such as inner city or rural poor) are often disproportionately affected by cancer in terms of risk, early detection, treatment, and survival. Understanding why – and developing strategies for leveling the playing field – were key objectives of the panel, which reports to the president on critical issues affecting the war on cancer."
