The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board for the Society of Surgical Oncology is honored to work with the American College of Surgeons to convene a vital conversation regarding disparities in the management and outcomes of cancer patients. Even more importantly, we will review strategies to mitigate disparate outcomes through research, policy and clinical service. A team of renowned researchers will lead a robust discussion regarding the roles of the surgical oncology workforce demographics, breast cancer screening, safety net hospitals, colorectal cancer surgery, and clinical trials in achieving cancer health equity.

In the second part of our series on healthcare disparities and health equity, we continue on the trajectory of the previous installment, now focusing on the imperative of addressing disparities in health and healthcare. Beyond considerations of social justice and equity, these disparities have far-reaching effects on global overall health and economic prosperity. People of color and other underserved groups endure higher rates of illness and mortality across various health conditions, impacting the collective wellbeing of our society. Throughout this series, we aim to explore targeted solutions that dismantle these inequalities and strive towards achieving health equity among surgical patients.
