About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of patients with cancer and SARS-CoV-2, racial and ethnic inequities existed in treatment delays and discontinuations throughout the pandemic; however, the disproportionate burden among racially and ethnically minoritized patients with cancer varied across SARS-CoV-2 waves. These inequities may lead to downstream adverse impacts on cancer mortality among minoritized adults in the United States.
