Racial health disparities continue to greatly impact the incidence and mortality rates of gynecologic cancers. Although there are many drivers for these disparities, limited inclusion of vulnerable populations in clinical research and narrowed medical knowledge of patients are large contributors that disproportionately affect racial/ethnic communities.
