CancerPACT
The aim of the Cancer Patients Alliance for Clinical Trials & Survivorship
(CancerPACT) initiative of Cancer
Patients Alliance is to increase Latino and other minority participation
in adult cancer clinical trials. We are concentrating initial
efforts in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Salinas Valley, California;
and Denver, Colorado. Local hospital and health providers will
provide cancer trial participation data that will permit us to
assess the effectiveness of our efforts.
Participation by women, the elderly, and
members of minority groups has historically been very low in
cancer clinical trials. This is particularly true of Latino-Americans.
They are 15% of the US population, but comprise only 5% of the
cancer clinical trial population. More.
