- Title
The Elimination of Cancer Health Disparities: Are We Ready to Do the Heavy Lifting?
- Authors
Jackson, Jonathan D.; Moy, Beverly; Evans, Michele K.
- Abstract
Black Americans are under‐represented in cancer clinical trials because of myriad factors. Minority under‐representation in clinical trials likely contributes to the disparate cancer outcomes among minorities and the poor. This Commentary, in light of a clinical trial that was prematurely terminated because of poor accrual of black men, discusses strategies to identify and overcome barriers to enrollment for this particularly vulnerable population.
