Abstract

Race and ethnicity are important social determinants of health and may be associated with significant disparities in access to, quality of, and outcomes from health care. In the United States, racial disparities have been well-documented among patients with solid cancer, with Black patients experiencing the poorest outcomes for most cancers of any racial and ethnic group.1 In patients with acute myeloid leukaemia, mortality is strongly associated with ethnicity, with non-Hispanic Black patients faring worse than non-Hispanic White patients.
