In an op-ed published in the Chicago Sun-Times, Dr. Mecker G. Möller, surgical oncologist at UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, shines a critical light on the stark disparities faced by Hispanic communities in cancer care. Despite lower overall incidence, Hispanic patients often face worse outcomes due to late diagnoses and limited access to care. Dr. Möller underscores the urgent need to diversify clinical trial participation and ensure equitable access to life-saving research and treatment. Her powerful call to action reminds us that inclusion in research is not just an equity issue—it’s essential to saving lives.
