Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go: Minority Treatment Disparities and Clinical Trial Enrollment

Podcast

The first episode of CancerNetwork's podcast Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go explores disparities in cancer care treatment among minorities and the significance of a representative sample in clinical trials.

CancerNetwork talks with Dr. Christopher Flowers of the MD Anderson Cancer Center regarding "Strategies for Overcoming Disparities for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies and for Improving Enrollment on Clinical Trials" from the journal ONCOLOGY.

Then, Dr. Julie Vose of the University of Nebraska Medical Center gives her perspective on the factors leading to cancer care disparities and the significance of representative enrollment in clinical trials.
