Talk
Ensuring equity in precision oncology
Novel technologies in precision oncology offer great promise for improved cancer screening, early detection, treatment, and monitoring. However, it is well known that the introduction of novel technologies can create or exacerbate health disparities. Forethought and planning are needed to ensure precision tools lead to equity in health.
