越来越多的数据表明，社会环境中的因素可能与癌症相关的结果有关。种族密度，定义为居住在特定地理区域的种族/少数民族个体的比例，是最常研究的社会环境因素之一，但关于种族密度和癌症的研究得出了不一致的结果。因此，本综述的目的是总结种族密度和癌症相关结局（癌症风险，诊断时的分期和死亡率）的现有数据，以确定种族密度可能有助于跨人群结局的途径。总的来说，研究结果表明，种族密度与感染性癌症的风险增加有关（例如，肝脏、宫颈），但乳腺癌和结直肠癌的风险较低，特别是西班牙裔和亚裔美国人。西班牙裔人口密度与晚期癌症诊断的几率更高相关，而黑人人口密度与死亡率更高相关。此外，本次审查突出了几个方法和概念的问题，围绕民族社区的测量及其可用资源。澄清社区种族密度的作用对于更好地理解伴随这些环境的健康风险和益处以及它们如何影响癌症相关结果中的种族和民族差异至关重要。
Accumulating data suggest that factors in the social environment may be associated with cancer-related outcomes. Ethnic density, defined as the proportion of racial/ethnic minority individuals who reside in a given geographic area, is one of the most frequently studied social environment factors, but studies on ethnic density and cancer have yielded inconsistent findings. Thus, the objective of this review was to summarize the extant data on ethnic density and cancer-related outcomes (cancer risk, stage at diagnosis, and mortality) with a view to identifying pathways by which ethnic density may contribute to outcomes across populations. In general, the findings indicated that ethnic density was associated with increased risk for cancers of an infectious origin (e.g., liver, cervical), but lower risk for breast and colorectal cancers, particularly among Hispanic and Asian Americans. Hispanic ethnic density was associated with greater odds of late-stage cancer diagnosis, whereas Black ethnic density was associated with greater mortality. In addition, this review highlights several methodological and conceptual issues surrounding the measurement of ethnic neighborhoods and their available resources. Clarifying the role of neighborhood ethnic density is critical to developing a greater understanding of the health risks and benefits accompanying these environments, and how they may affect racial and ethnic disparities in cancer-related outcomes.
