癌症是一组以体内异常细胞不受控制的生长和扩散为特征的疾病。它是美国第二大常见死因，而且很大一部分是可以预防的。医学研究所 (IOM) 的一份报告显示，代表性不足和服务不足的人群接受常规医疗程序的可能性较小，并且享受的卫生服务质量较低。尽管癌症筛查有所增加，但各种癌症的发病率和死亡率仍然存在差异。这些差异并不能完全用少数族裔与较低经济地位（SES）或少数族裔与保险状况之间的相关性来解释。提出了资源匮乏地区全球癌症控制的考虑因素。
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. It is the second most common cause of death in the United States and a significant proportion can be prevented. An Institute of Medicine (IOM) report revealed that under-represented and underserved populations are less likely to receive routine medical procedures and experience a lower quality of health services. Despite the increase in cancer screening, there are still disparities in the incidence and mortality of various cancers. These disparities are not fully explained by the correlations between minority race and lower economic status (SES), or minority race and insurance status. Considerations for global cancer control in low-resource settings are presented.
