Abstract
Disparities in surgical oncology care may be due to race/ethnicity. Race norming, defined as the adjustment of medical assessments based on an individual's race/ethnicity, and implicit bias are specifically explored in this focused systematic review. We aim to examine how race norming and bias impact oncologic care and postsurgical outcomes, particularly in Black patient populations, while providing potential strategies to improve equitable and inclusive care.
