1. Register Today: Social Determinants of Cancer Care ~ Lessons Learned and Future Directions

Symposium hosted by the NRG Oncology Health Disparities Committee - Research Implementation Special Interest Group

Social determinants of health play a critical role in cancer care delivery and ultimately cancer outcomes. Furthermore, underrepresented patients have a disproportionately greater burden of cancer, with often higher mortality rates across a wide spectrum of cancer types attributable to bearing more advanced stage and aggressive disease as well as difficulties in access to equitable care, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, older adults, and rural populations. This symposium will address current challenges related to social determinants of health, cancer care delivery and outcomes that includes innovative interventions to address disparities.

This symposium is being held via Zoom on Friday, June 30, 2023, from 2-3:30pm EDT. Please view the flyer here.
