$3.2 million grant aids in the study of genetic testing approach to close racial disparity gaps in cancer care

With the aid of a near $3.2 million National Cancer Institute grant (R01CA277599) recently awarded, investigators from the state's leading cancer program, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey,  and Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, both NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, will work to close racial disparity gaps in cancer care delivery by examining a novel approach to genetic testing and care based on community-identified needs.
