Pre-pandemic patterns in colorectal cancer mortality and Black-White inequities across the 30 most populous US cities
Despite improvements in CRC mortality, Black:White disparities persist. Structural racism may contribute to these disparities through differential access to care and risk factor exposure. Identifying geographic differences in Black:White CRC mortality may serve as a catalyst for local governments to implement place-based initiatives that reduce screening barriers and contribute to health equity.
