Dedicated efforts are needed to measure the impact of racism and discrimination on the health of cancer survivors and simultaneously to develop tools and resources to mitigate adverse health effects. Interventions to improve mental health outcomes for cancer survivors, with special emphasis on those at increased risk because of social and structural factors, should begin now.
