The article discusses the importance of considering participant data when using large-scale cancer data sets in oncology research. It highlights the lack of education and training for oncologists in utilizing these data sets, which can inadvertently reinforce inaccuracies or disparities in care. The text provides examples of large-scale clinical-genomic data sets that lack representation from diverse populations, emphasizing the need for understanding participant demographics to ensure the clinical applicability of research findings. The article also introduces national cancer registries and private databases, outlining the challenges associated with race/ethnicity data collection and the limitations of current data sets in capturing key social and environmental determinants of health. The authors offer initial guidance for oncologists to critically evaluate large-scale data sets and advocate for improved education on utilizing these resources effectively to serve all patients.
