Racial and Ethnic Disparities Among Patients Enrolled in Breast Reconstruction-Related Clinical Trials
Over 70% of BRRCTs did not report the race or ethnicity of enrollees. When reported, racial and ethnic minorities were significantly underrepresented in BRRCTs. More diligent reporting and proactive initiatives to increase recruitment of minority groups in clinical trials are needed to strengthen the validity of BRRCTs.
