The importance of addressing racial disparities & differences in survival in patients with acute leukemias

Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare have resulted in significantly lower survival rates among Black patients with acute leukemias in comparison to non-Hispanic White patients. Another important factor to address in hematological malignancies is the underrepresentation of Black patients in clinical trials, and several clinicians and researchers are drawing focus on the need to address racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities among patients with various cancers. In this podcast, you will hear from Ann-Kathrin Eisfeld, MD, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, who discusses the importance of addressing racial disparities and survival differences in patients with acute leukemias, sharing data from a retrospective sequencing study.
