Conclusion
While COVID-19 pandemic may eventually dissipate, health care disparities will likely persist. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with a lens, opportunity, and rationale for renewed dedication to investigating the causes of and solutions for racial/ethnic disparities in access and outcomes for patients with HNC. Although many factors contribute to racial/ethnic disparities in morbidity and mortality in patients with HNC, healthcare delivery should not be one of them.
