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.

项目摘要 拟议中的会议，题为“癌症健康差异的科学在种族/民族 少数民族和医疗服务不足，”将于2017年9月25日至28日在 亚特兰大，格鲁吉亚。这次拟议的会议将是AACR系列中的第十次会议， 特别是关于癌症健康差异的科学。第一届科学大会 癌症健康差异在种族/少数民族和医疗服务不足举行， 2007年，然后每年从2009年至2016年。虽然大多数关于癌症健康差异的会议 重点是政策和公共卫生问题，本次会议的目标是纳入 基础科学家和临床医生的观点与政策和公共卫生。 各种学科之间的跨学科互动，包括基础科学，临床 研究，人口科学，行为研究和癌症生存，需要 推动这一领域向前发展，并在减少和消除相关差距方面取得进展 到癌症 癌症发病率的种族和民族差异是有据可查的。虽然数据显示， 获得高质量护理的机会导致了癌症的差异，其他因素也起着重要作用， 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、治疗质量和治疗反应，以及治疗后 治疗监测本次会议和会议系列的目标是带来 科学家和其他专业人士在各种学科的工作，讨论 该领域的最新发现，并促进癌症健康新研究的发展 差距。
