Cancer Health Equity

Cancer health equity refers to the fair distribution of resources, opportunities, and care in preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer across different populations. It recognizes that factors like socioeconomic status, race, geography, and access to healthcare can create disparities in cancer outcomes. Achieving cancer health equity means ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has the same chances to receive effective cancer care and support. This requires addressing systemic barriers, promoting awareness, and improving access to services for marginalized and underserved communities to reduce the impact of cancer on all individuals.
