Abstract
Summary: Cancer health disparities are complex and a mixture of factors that need to be accounted for in both our planning, implementation, and execution across all researchers, especially in single-cell and spatial technologies, which have a higher burden for adoption in low- and middle-income countries. This commentary tackles the hurdles these technologies face in creating a diverse, representative atlas of cancer and is a call to arms for a strategic plan toward inclusivity across all global populations.
