It is also great that it is not just data for the sake of data. The questions are detailed and allow us to start thinking about interventions and policy changes to address the needs of our communities. #RadOnc #JC

I'm intrigued that Black patients were more likely to be single, resulting in less family support (ie, transportation, stress, financial support). Does being single lead to these unmet needs or are these unmet needs a barrier to getting married?

In the United States, Medicaid may be a driver of health inequity. Medicaid beneficiaries tend to be non-white and denied equal access to elite cancer institutions. Until Medicaid beneficiaries have the freedom to choose where they go, we won't see #healthequity

Achieving health equity is a battle fought on many fronts - some key changes @UMarylandRadOnc include fostering a more inclusive workplace, helping faculty with implicit bias, creating a cancer pain clinic, adopting hypofractionated regimens in our guidelines. #radonc #jc

CT: It’s not enough to just describe the problem, we have to engage in evolving, practical, clinical interventions that help attain health equity. Fostering a #radonc environment that is inclusive, is low-hanging fruit that will translate to improved patient care. #DEI #jc

Moving on to T5 - conclusion & next steps. Based on this paper and your own experiences, where do we go from here? What future research, or interventions implemented today, can improve #HealthEquity in radiation oncology? #RadOnc #JC T5 c @PranshuMohindra @SorenBentzen

I thought it was interesting that some of the needs (eg pain) appears to ⬇️ at later time points. Can authors comment on what they think this was from? Eg access to navigators, the rt tx itself? #radonc #jc
