First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at ways to increase diversity in cancer clinical trials, focusing on breast, liver, and prostate cancers. Researchers worked with communities, doctors, and scientists in New York City to find better ways to include people of color and underserved groups. The goal was to change how trials are done so they reflect the real population.
