The approval and wide uptake of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in oncology practice raise the concerns of possibly worsened racial disparities in cancer treatment due to biological and psychosocial reasons. We propose a multilevel biopsychosocial model to understand the opportunities and challenges to racial disparities in the era of cancer immunotherapy.
免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 在肿瘤学实践中的广泛批准和采用引起了人们的担忧,即由于生物学和社会心理原因,癌症治疗中的种族差异可能会恶化。我们提出了一个多层次的生物心理社会模型,以了解癌症免疫治疗时代种族差异的机遇和挑战。
