While cancer mortality is declining in the United States, significant racial, ethnic, economic and geographic inequities persist. To help address inequities in cancer treatment, care, support and research, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) instituted the community outreach and engagement (COE) mandate for NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers (CCCs). The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation designed a convening and listening session on COE with NCI leaders and staff gathering representatives from CCCs and the broader cancer community. This paper captures recommendations from the listening session for the NCI and CCCs to further evolve the implementation and impact of the COE mandate on cancer control and outcomes.
虽然美国的癌症死亡率正在下降，但显著的种族、族裔、经济和地理方面的不平等现象依然存在。为了帮助解决癌症治疗、护理、支持和研究方面的不平等问题，美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）为其指定的综合癌症中心（CCC）制定了社区外展和参与（COE）任务。百时美施贵宝基金会组织了一次关于COE的召集和听取意见会议，NCI的领导人和工作人员与CCC以及更广泛的癌症社区的代表齐聚一堂。本文记录了听取意见会议上提出的建议，供NCI和CCC进一步改进COE任务在癌症控制和成果方面的实施及影响。
