ABSTRACT
Malignant tumor diseases constitute the 2nd most common cause of death and due to our extended life expectancy cancer per se has substantially increased, being highly prevalent after cardiovascular diseases. Evidence also generated from the COVID-19 pandemic, that defined gender differences exist in symptom and disease courses, and have advocated the need to assess gender, ethnic/racial and minority differences in cancer care and treatment more meticulously. It is becoming increasingly evident that in novel cancer care/precision oncology, representation of minorities, elderly and frail patients in clinical trials remains largely unbalanced, thus distribution of cancer success is iniquitous. This article focusses on these aspects and suggests solutions, how this can be improved.
