Racial or ethnic health care disparities in cardio-oncology are present, although data remain sparse.
These disparities stem from structural racism, higher prevalence of CVD risk factors, and reduced access to specialty care.
A multidisciplinary approach is required to dismantle these disparities and should include key stakeholders, including health care policy makers, patients, scientists, and clinicians.
