Minority and Historically Underserved Populations

S

pecial Bay Area Tumor Institute outreach efforts seek to provide underserved and minority cancer patients with equal access to all Bay Area Tumor Institute programs and services. Where cost might prevent a person from participating in a program, special efforts will be made to eliminate this barrier. The therapeutic research programs, cancer prevention efforts, and “adolescent young adult” interventions of the Institute are conducted with sensitivity to the cultural backgrounds of all participants.
