Since the 2002 Institute of Medicine report, which many cite as a landmark in first defining and calling attention to the concept of health disparities in medicine, much work has been dedicated to characterizing health disparities in medical care with the aim of eliminating them. Importantly, this report, "Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care," laid bare the differences in quality of health care that are based on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Here, the authors elaborate on these issues and discuss the role of the neuro-oncologic workforce in potentially mitigating these disparities.
自 2002 年医学研究所的报告以来，许多人将其作为首次定义并引起人们对医学中健康差异这一概念的关注的里程碑，人们投入了大量工作来描述医疗保健中的健康差异，旨在消除这些差异。重要的是，这份题为“不平等的待遇：应对医疗保健中的种族和族裔差异”的报告揭示了基于种族、族裔和社会经济地位的医疗质量差异。在这里，作者详细阐述了这些问题，并讨论了神经肿瘤学劳动力在减轻这些差异方面的作用。
