Key result
Racial and ethnic disparities in cardio-oncology are pervasive, stemming from structural racism, higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, and underrepresentation in clinical trials.
Why the study?
Racial or ethnic health care disparities in cardio-oncology exist, but data regarding them remain sparse.
A multidisciplinary approach involving policy makers, patients, scientists, and clinicians is required to dismantle structural racism and address racial and ethnic disparities in cardio-oncology.
Requires multidisciplinary action to address cardio-oncology disparities; leaves open effective equity strategies.
• Racial or ethnic health care disparities in cardio-oncology are present, although data remain sparse. • These disparities stem from structural racism, higher prevalence of CVD risk factors, and reduced access to specialty care. • A multidisciplinary approach is required to dismantle these disparities and should include key stakeholders, including health care policy makers, patients, scientists, and clinicians.
