Reduce Cancer Healthcare Disparities

Reduce cancer healthcare disparities. Studies suggest that equal access to quality care could dramatically reduce cancer deaths in the United States. A major focus of the NCCCP is on improving access to care among underserved populations with unusually high cancer rates. The pilot sites already actively reach out to these communities and will build upon these initiatives to bring more Americans into the system of care. Understanding and addressing cancer health disparities’ root causes is essential in NCI’s aim to lessen the burden of cancer for all.
