美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）已经开始了一项密集的运动，将消除癌症健康差距纳入该学会的总体使命和活动。这一承诺的关键组成部分是提高对差异的认识;改善获得护理的机会;以及支持对健康差异的研究。主要目标是推进肿瘤学社区在照顾来自服务不足和少数群体的患者方面的教育;增加临床肿瘤学工作人员的多样性，作为改善服务不足人群获得癌症护理的必要条件;并支持健康差距领域的研究。癌症治疗中的种族和民族差异是ASCO、肿瘤学界和整个社会的一个至关重要的问题。本文概述的健康差异倡议阐述了ASCO致力于消除癌症护理的差异，并讨论了我们多管齐下的方法来解决临床肿瘤学社区内的差异。ASCO致力于与不同的利益攸关方社区合作，开展以下工作：制定政策，保证平等获得优质医疗保健，特别强调减少癌症护理的保险和经济障碍;制定全面计划，提高对癌症护理中种族和民族差异的认识;执行一项战略，增加少数族裔医生的供应，并改善对肿瘤学工作人员的培训，以满足不同种族和族裔癌症患者的需求;提高对癌症治疗差异的公共和私人研究的优先地位;建立机制，增加不同种族和民族的人口参与癌症临床试验;支持提高患者参与癌症治疗的倡议。
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has embarked on an intensive campaign to integrate elimination of cancer health disparities into the Society's overall mission and activities. Key components of this commitment are enhancing awareness of disparities; improving access to care; and supporting research on health disparities. Major objectives are to advance the education of the oncology community in the care of patients from underserved and minority populations; increase the diversity of the clinical oncology workforce as a requisite to improving access to cancer care for the underserved; and support research in the area of health disparities. Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer care are an issue of critical importance to ASCO, the oncology community, and our society at large. The health disparities initiative outlined herein enunciates ASCO's dedication to eliminating disparities in cancer care and discusses our multipronged approach for addressing disparities within the clinical oncology community. ASCO is committed to collaborating with the diverse community of stakeholders to undertake the following: develop policies to guarantee equal access to quality health care, with special emphasis on reducing insurance and economic barriers to cancer care; develop a comprehensive plan to increase awareness of racial and ethnic disparities in cancer care; execute a strategy to enhance the supply of minority physicians and to improve the training of the oncology workforce to meet the needs of racially and ethnically diverse cancer patients; increase prioritization of public and private research on cancer care disparities; develop mechanisms to increase participation of racially and ethnically diverse populations in cancer clinical trials; and support initiatives to enhance patients' involvement in their cancer care.
