Cancer Disparities Research Network

The Cancer Disparities Research Network (CDRN) is a collaborative effort that focuses on understanding and addressing the differences in cancer outcomes among various populations. It aims to identify why certain groups—defined by race, ethnicity, income, or location—experience higher rates of cancer and poorer treatment results. By gathering and analyzing data, CDRN researchers develop strategies to improve prevention, detection, and treatment in underserved communities. Their goal is to promote health equity, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has access to effective cancer care and resources.
