title: Eliminating disparities in cancer screening and follow-up of abnormal results: what will it take?
abstract: Health and health care disparities related to cancer are a major public health problem in the United States. Providing care that is truly patient-centered could address disparities in cancer screening and follow-up through better alignment between patient needs and health care resources available to address those needs. Key health care reforms offer promise for doing so.
