BACKGROUND: Health disparities in cancer care have been described and stem from a complex interplay of patient, provider, and instutional factors. METHODS: A review of the literature describing disparities in aspects of cancer care was performed. RESULTS: Disparities in outcomes including overall survival for minority populations have been demonstrated to exist for race, age, and socioeconomic status. CONCLUSION: Disparities in cancer care and outcomes clearly exist for many poorly understood reasons. After a diagnosis of cancer, barriers to care may develop at multiple points along the course of the patient\u27s disease
