Article Synopsis
- The Hispanic/Latino population represents 18% of the U.S. population, with significant cancer occurrence and mortality rates, particularly in colorectal, liver, stomach, and cervical cancers.
- Despite lower overall cancer rates compared to non-Hispanic Whites, disparities exist, narrowing for some cancers due to factors like delayed screening.
- Strategies to improve cancer outcomes include culturally relevant healthcare resources, community interventions, and addressing access barriers, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
