项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed conference, titled “The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved,” will be held from September 25-28, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. This proposed conference will be the tenth 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 - 2016. 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 the development of new research in cancer health disparities.

项目概要拟议的会议题为“种族/民族癌症健康差异的科学” 少数民族和医疗服务不足的人”将于 2017 年 9 月 25 日至 28 日在佐治亚州亚特兰大。拟议的会议将是 AACR 系列会议的第十次会议。特别是关于癌症健康差异科学的第一次会议。种族/族裔和医疗服务不足者的癌症健康差异问题于 2007 年，然后从 2009 年至 2016 年每年一次。虽然大多数关于癌症健康差异的会议重点关注政策和公共卫生问题，本次会议的目标是将基础科学家和忠诚者的观点与政策和公共卫生相结合。基础科学、临床科学等多种学科之间的跨学科互动需要研究、人口科学、行为研究和癌症生存推动该领域向前发展，并在减少和消除相关差异方面取得进展到癌症。尽管数据表明，癌症发病率存在种族和民族差异。获得优质护理会导致癌症差异，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、治疗质量和反应以及治疗后本次治疗会议和会议系列的目标是带来监测。不同学科领域的科学家和其他专业人士聚集在一起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。
