    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the disparities in cancer outcomes in America, particularly those based on race, ethnicity, and socio-economic factors. Topics include the impact of social determinants like income inequality and housing on cancer risk and recovery, the importance of addressing these factors beyond clinical care, and the need for healthcare providers to consider patients' broader social needs to close outcome gaps.
