Item Improving the Clinical Treatment of Vulnerable Populations in Radiation Oncology(Elsevier, 2020-08-06) McClelland, Shearwood, III.; Petereit, Daniel G.; Zeitlin, Ross; Takita, Cristiane; Suneja, Gita; Miller, Robert C.; Deville, Curtiland; Siker, Malika L.; Radiation Oncology, School of MedicineThe increasing role of radiation oncology in optimal cancer care treatment brings to mind the adage that power is never a gift, but a responsibility. A significant part of the responsibility we in radiation oncology bear is how to ensure optimal access to our services. This article summarizes the discussion initiated at the 2019 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting educational panel entitled "Improving the Clinical Treatment of Vulnerable Populations in Radiation Oncology: Latin, African American, Native American, and Gender/Sexual Minority Communities." By bringing the discussion to the printed page, we hope to continue the conversation with a broader audience to better define the level of responsibility our field bears in optimizing cancer care to the most vulnerable patient populations within the United States.
