Abstract

Cancer health disparities (CHDs), defined as the adverse differences in cancer incidence and mortality, are prevalent in certain racial and ethnic groups. Underlying causes of CHDs are multi-factorial and debatable. While low socioeconomic status, geographical location, lifestyle and behavioral factors are mostly believed to contribute to CHDs, regardless of ethnic and racial background, significant data now also exist to support a genetic basis of such disparities as well. Clearly, CHDs could best be understood by studying the interplay of multiple (genetic and non-genetic) factors and then translating the resulting knowledge into effective approaches for reducing the existing disparity gaps. This review article highlights these aspects in brief and calls the people of different expertise to work together to make an impact and tackle the challenges associated with CHDs.

不带有色眼镜看癌症健康差异。
癌症健康差异(CHDs)被定义为癌症发病率和死亡率的不利差异,在某些种族和族裔群体中普遍存在。冠心病的潜在病因是多因素的,且存在争议。虽然低社会经济地位、地理位置、生活方式和行为因素大多被认为是导致冠心病的原因,但无论民族和种族背景如何,现在也有大量数据支持这种差异的遗传基础。显然,通过研究多种(遗传和非遗传)因素的相互作用,然后将所得知识转化为减少现有差距的有效方法,可以最好地理解冠心病。这篇综述文章简要地强调了这些方面,并呼吁不同专业知识的人共同努力,以产生影响并应对与冠心病相关的挑战。
