Collection
Cancer Disparities
In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal to Reduce Inequalities (SDG10), this collection aims to bring together articles enhancing our understanding of cancer health disparities across the different dimensions of inequality research.
There are many expanding fields of health inequalities research but this collection will include articles examining disproportionate cancer burdens in populations such as: rural-urban, gender/sexual, racial/ethnic, religious minority and socioeconomic status groups, and of course any group where health inequality needs to be addressed.
This wider collection builds upon our existing collections more specifically focused on 'Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer' and 'Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer in the US'.
We are building an ongoing knowledge base of content from across oncology journals to increase the discoverability of articles in this important research area. Thus, we call for new contributions to this collection and invite you to read recent research below.
We also wish to highlight a related webinar recording 'Roundtable on Black in cancer research and oncology'.
Editors for Supportive Care in Cancer: Dr Devon Check and Prof Janet de Groot
Editors for Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases: Dr Samuel L. Washington III, Dr Jun Luo, Dr Yaw Nyame, Dr Randy Vince Jr and Dr Jennifer Beebe-Dimmer
Please note that other journals participating in the collection do not have specific Guest Editors appointed and manuscripts are handled on a case by case basis by members of our editorial boards.

Dr Devon Check
Devon Check, PhD is a health services and implementation researcher whose primary research interests include quality of care and the implementation of evidence-based and guideline-recommended practices in oncology. Her projects use large secondary data analysis as well as qualitative and mixed methods to investigate variation and inequities in cancer care, the experiences of patients and clinicians, and multi-level factors that impact cancer treatment and outcomes. She has a specific interest in supportive cancer care, particularly pain and symptom management, including the intersection of pain, opioid use, and other substance use in cancer.
