Abstract

The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is a large data set of cancer patients treated in the United States. In recent decades, many papers have utilized this database to study disparities in cancer care and outcomes. In this review, we present the strengths and limitations of using the NCDB to study cancer disparities, which should be taken into account by researchers who use the NCDB in this setting.
