Cancer Disparities
Causes and Evidence-Based Solutions
Cancer is not randomly distributed in the United States. Its incidence varies by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other geographic and demographic factors. This volume is the first to examine the biological, racial, and socioeconomic factors that influence cancer incidence and survival and presents 15 previously unpublished, evidence-based interventions that can be used to reduce and eliminate cancer disparities. The book explains the nature, scope, and causes of cancer disparities across different populations and then presents unique programs proven to reduce such inequalities in the areas of cancer prevention, screening and early detection, treatment, and survivorship. They represent a variety of cancers, populations, and communities across the U.S. Descriptions of each intervention include tests of effectiveness and are written in sufficient detail for readers to replicate them within their own communities. Key Features: .: Offers an in-depth look at the latest research behind cancer disparities; Written by highly respected and published cancer researchers; Includes 15 never-before published, evidence-based interventions that readers can replicate; Discusses breast, colorectal, cervical, and other pernicious cancers; Includes interventions for African-American, Hispanic, Native American, and other populations;.
