Zusammenfassung:Cancer health disparities refer to the unequal burden, treatment, and outcomes of cancer care experienced by specific populations. These disparities are systemic and often preventable, impacting diverse populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, medically underserved populations, populations in rural areas, individuals from the LGBT communities, disabled persons, extremes of age, and those living in persistent poverty. Addressing this topic is essential and timely to ensure equitable oncologic outcomes for all populations. Experts in surgical oncology and health disparities have collaborated to produce this seminar issue on Disparities in Surgical Oncology.
