Involving Disparate Populations in Clinical Trials and Biobanking Protocols: Experiences from the Community Network Program Centers

Underserved groups tend not to participate in a wide array of cancer research ranging from primary prevention to screening and treatment trials ([1–5][1]). With intensified focus on personalized medicine to target therapeutic recommendations, those groups who choose not to participate are left out
