Inclusive cancer diagnosis for people with disabilities
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer is found and treated in people with disabilities compared to those without disabilities. It uses medical records and interviews to understand if people with disabilities have different health outcomes, with the goal of improving cancer care for everyone.
