Abstract:
A significant amount of the literature on health disparities in gynecologic cancer care has focused on descriptively identifying disparities with a particular focus on the dichotomous care received by black and white patients. Although there are actionable improvements that can be made to improve research within this field as it is currently conceived, it is critical to broaden the academic approach to these difficult issues in order to develop frameworks in which both the medical factors and social and environmental factors are treated as an integrated system.
