Algorithm-based prevention and reduction of cancer health disparity arising from data inequality
Ethnic minority groups have a long-term cumulative data disadvantage in biomedical research and clinical studies. Statistics have shown that over 90% of the samples in cancer-related GWAS and clinical omics projects were collected from Individuals of European ancestry. This severe data disadvantage of the ethnic minority groups is set to produce new health disparities as data-driven, algorithm-based biomedical research and clinical decisions become increasingly common. The new cancer disparity arising from data inequality can potentially impact all ethnic minority groups in all types of cancers where data inequality exists. Thus, its negative impact is not limited to the cancer types or…
