Disparities and Determinants of Health in Surgical Oncology

Traditionally, Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America has focused on disease- or organ-specific cancer topics. In identifying topics for this year ’s issues, I believed that it was critical to address disparities and determinants of health within the larger field of surgical oncology itself. As such, this issue of the Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America is particularly important. Like all of you, I believe we are obligated as medical professionals to address disparities, and to use our collective voice to foster awareness around disparities within oncologic care.
