A tripartite approach toward ending cancer as we know it, for everyone: An American Cancer Society perspective.

Gaps in the cancer care continuum are vast, both in the United States and globally. The American Cancer Society orchestrates an integrated, tripartite approach toward improving the lives of cancer patients and their families through research, advocacy, and patient support. With a focus on eradicating cancer disparities, the American Cancer Society aims to scale and deploy best practices worldwide through partnerships, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

American Cancer Society's report on the status of cancer disparities in the United States, 2021.

In this report, the authors provide comprehensive and up-to-date US data on disparities in cancer occurrence, major risk factors, and access to and utilization of preventive measures and screening by sociodemographic characteristics. They also review programs and resources that have reduced cancer disparities and provide policy recommendations to further mitigate these inequalities. The overall cancer death rate is 19% higher among Black males than among White males.
