Approximately 185,840 individuals will be diagnosed with hematologic malignancies in the United States in 2020. Disparities in disease incidence, prevalence, burden, mortality, and survivorship have been identified among this patient population. Contributing factors include genetic ancestry, race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and geographic region. Historically, these inequities have been understudied. Addressing these disparities requires a systems-level approach, improving access to care and reducing biases in the clinical setting. Additional research is needed to construct comprehensive, multilevel models to explore systematic observational studies and perform strategic intervention trials to overcome these disparities.
