项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed conference series, titled “The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved,” will be held annually in the fall (2019-2023). The 2019 conference will be held September 20-23, 2019 in San Francisco, California. The locations of the 2020-2023 conferences remain to be selected, but will be chosen based upon the future needs and growth of the conference series. This proposed conference series will be the 12th-16th in an AACR series focused specifically on the science of cancer health disparities. The first conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved was held in 2007, then annually from 2009-2018. 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 differing levels of access to quality care contribute to cancer disparities, other factors also play a 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 the development of new research in cancer health disparities.

项目概要拟议的会议系列，题为“癌症健康差异的科学” 种族/族裔少数群体和医疗服务不足的群体”将于每年秋季举行（2019-2023）。2019年会议将于2019年9月20-23日在旧金山举行。加利福尼亚州。 2020-2023 年会议的地点仍有待选定，但将会确定。根据会议系列的未来需求和发展进行选择。系列会议将是 AACR 系列中的第 12 至 16 次会议，专门关注科学癌症健康差异的第一次会议。少数族裔/族裔和医疗服务不足者于 2007 年举行，此后每年举行一次 2009-2018 年，大多数关于癌症健康差异的会议都关注政策和公众。健康问题，本次会议的目标是吸收基础科学家的观点并与政策和公共卫生相互作用相结合。不同学科之间的交叉，包括基础科学、临床研究、人口科学、需要行为研究和癌症生存来推动该领域的发展并做出在减少和消除与癌症相关的差异方面取得进展。尽管数据表明，癌症发病率存在种族和民族差异。获得优质护理的不同程度导致了癌症差异，其他因素也发挥了作用作用，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，本次会议和系列会议的目标是：汇集不同学科的科学家和其他专业人士来讨论该领域的最新发现并刺激癌症健康新研究的发展差异。
