项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference, titled "The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved," will be held from November 9-12, 2014 in San Antonio, TX. This proposed conference will be the seventh in an AACR series focused specifically on the science of cancer health disparities. The previous conferences on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved were held in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. While most conferences on cancer health disparities focus on policy and public health issues, the goal of this conference is to incorporate perspectives from basic scientists and clinicians in conjunction with policy and public health. Transdisciplinary interactions between a variety of disciplines including basic science, clinical research, population science, behavioral research, and cancer survivorship, are needed to move the field forward and make progress in reducing and eliminating disparities as they relate to cancer. Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer rates are well documented. While data suggest that access to quality care contributes to cancer disparities, other factors also play a major role, including tumor biology, genetics, hormonal status, lifestyle and behavior, screening policies, comorbidities, environmental exposure and risk, quality of and response to therapy, and post- therapeutic surveillance. The goal of this conference and the conference series is to bring together scientists and other professionals working in a variety of disciplines to discuss the latest findings in the field and to stimulate th development of new research in cancer health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的会议题为“种族/族裔和医疗服务不足者的癌症健康差异科学”，将于 2014 年 11 月 9 日至 12 日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行。此次拟议的会议将是 AACR 系列会议的第七次会议，该系列会议专门关注癌症健康差异科学。之前关于种族/族裔和医疗服务不足人群癌症健康差异科学的会议分别于 2007 年、2009 年、2010 年、2011 年、2012 年和 2013 年举行。虽然大多数关于癌症健康差异的会议侧重于政策和公共卫生问题，这次会议的目标是将基础科学家和临床医生的观点与政策和公共卫生结合起来。需要基础科学、临床研究、人口科学、行为研究和癌症生存等多种学科之间的跨学科互动，以推动该领域向前发展，并在减少和消除与癌症相关的差异方面取得进展。癌症发病率的种族和民族差异有据可查。虽然数据表明获得优质护理会导致癌症差异，但其他因素也发挥着重要作用，包括肿瘤生物学、遗传学、激素状态、生活方式和行为、筛查政策、合并症、环境暴露和风险、治疗质量和反应和治疗后监测。本次会议和会议系列的目标是汇集不同学科的科学家和其他专业人士，讨论该领域的最新发现，并促进癌症健康差异方面新研究的发展。
