equity in cancer care

Inequitable access to cancer care persists across the globe with widespread disparities in cancer care and control

“Over the last two decades, the arc of cancer control has diverged. One path has achieved improved survival through innovation and reliable access to high quality care. The other has subjected low-income and marginalized communities to inaccessible and poor quality care, emotional hardship and financial insecurity. These staggering inequities in cancer care between and within countries are progressively increasing.”
