Association of Race and Ethnicity with Genomic Testing at a Comprehensive Cancer Center in North Carolina.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Non-Hispanic Black patients diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2014 and 2019 and treated at a comprehensive cancer center were less likely to use tumor-specific genomic testing compared with non-Hispanic White patients. Disparities in the use of precision oncology technologies should be monitored and addressed to ensure equitable cancer care.
