Racial health disparities continue to greatly impact the incidence and mortality rates of gynecologic cancers. Although there are many drivers for these disparities, limited inclusion of vulnerable populations in clinical research and narrowed medical knowledge of patients are large contributors that disproportionately affect racial/ethnic communities. To mitigate these disparities, we must look for avenues that connect patients from these communities to cancer researchers. In this review, we summarize 2 projects that can serve as models for future interventions that promote education and engagement in clinical research for populations most impacted by gynecologic cancer disparities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
