Overcoming Prostate Cancer Disparities in Care

Addressing disparities in prostate cancer requires the ability to recognize that care inequities exist and the commitment to provide equitable care to all patients. This is not an easy undertaking—but an essential one for any healthcare team.

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) identified four cancer programs that have developed—or are developing—strategies to overcome disparities in prostate cancer care. Their efforts demonstrate a broad range of approaches to creating change and improving prostate cancer detection and treatment.

This webinar highlights four effective community outreach strategies to overcome disparities in prostate cancer care.
