Toward Equitable Precision Oncology: Monitoring Racial and Ethnic Inclusion in Genomics and Clinical Trials.

Purpose: Ethnic diversity in cancer research is crucial as race/ethnicity influences cancer incidence, survival, drug response, molecular pathways, and epigenetic phenomena. In 2018, we began a project to examine racial/ethnic diversity in cancer research, with a commitment to review these disparities every 4 years. This report is our second assessment, detailing the present state of racial/ethnic diversity in cancer genomics and clinical trials.
