摘要 这项名为“推进拉美裔癌症科学”的会议计划于 2020年2月26日至28日,德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥。这次拟议的会议-由卫生研究所主办 UT Health San Antonio和NCI指定的癌症中心梅斯癌症中心的推广研究 在德克萨斯大学健康圣安东尼奥分校-代表着第二次专门关注科学的国际会议 关于拉美裔社区癌症健康差距的研究。 尽管在过去的25年里,美国的癌症总死亡率下降了27%, 社会经济差距正在扩大,癌症仍然是发病率和过早死亡的主要原因。 在拉美裔等弱势群体中。拉美裔癌症发病率预计将在未来20年上升142% 好几年了。这场健康危机尤其令人担忧,因为已经是美国最大少数群体的拉丁裔, 预计到2050年将至少占全国人口的30%。由于社会经济和文化原因 在医疗保健方面的差距,拉美裔更有可能放弃或推迟接受及时的医疗检查, 癌症护理的服务和治疗,使他们面临更高的晚期癌症发病率 确诊,更糟糕的癌症结果,以及更低的癌症存活率。 这次会议将汇聚一个多学科的专业团体,以确定新出现的障碍 关注并找到创新、协作和公平的解决方案,以满足拉美裔的独特需求 社区。拟议的会议将支持以下目标: ·促进对该领域最新调查结果的讨论; ·找出相关癌症研究方面的差距和机会; ·促进多学科合作,刺激拉丁裔新的跨学科研究的发展 癌症健康差异;以及 ·为研究人员和早期职业研究人员提供一个强大的平台来分享他们的工作
英文摘要
Abstract The proposed conference, “Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos,” is scheduled to take place on February 26-28, 2020 in San Antonio, Texas. This proposed conference—hosted by the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio and the Mays Cancer Center, an NCI-designated cancer center at UT Health San Antonio—represents the second international conference focused specifically on the science of cancer health disparities among Latino communities. While the overall rate of cancer deaths in the U.S. has declined by 27% during the past 25 years, socioeconomic gaps are widening, and cancer remains the leading cause of morbidity and premature death among vulnerable populations such as Latinos. Latino cancer rates are expected to rise 142% in the next 20 years. This health crisis is especially alarming given that Latinos, already the nation's largest minority group, are expected to comprise at least 30% of the nation's population by 2050. Due to socioeconomic and cultural disparities in health care, Latinos are more likely to forego or delay receiving timely healthcare screening, services and treatment for cancer care, putting them at risk of suffering higher rates of advanced cancer diagnoses, worse cancer outcomes, and lower cancer survival rates. This conference will bring together a multidisciplinary group of professionals to identify emerging barriers to care and find innovative, collaborative and equitable solutions to address the unique needs of Latino communities. The proposed conference will support the following aims: • Foster discussion on the latest findings in the field; • Identify gaps and opportunities in relevant cancer research; • Promote multidisciplinary collaboration to stimulate development of new transdisciplinary research in Latino cancer health disparities; and • Offer a robust platform for researchers and early career investigators to share their work
