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.

项目总结 拟召开的会议题为《癌症健康差异的种族/民族科学》 将于2017年9月25日至28日在北京举行 佐治亚州亚特兰大。这次拟议的会议将是AACR系列会议中的第十次 特别是关于癌症健康差异的科学。第一届人文科学大会 种族/民族少数群体和医疗服务不足者的癌症健康差异在 2007年，然后每年从2009年到2016年。虽然大多数关于癌症健康差异的会议 聚焦于政策和公共卫生问题，本次会议的目标是将 基础科学家和临床医生的观点与政策和公共卫生。 不同学科之间的跨学科互动，包括基础科学、临床 研究、人口科学、行为研究和癌症存活率，都需要 推动这一领域向前发展，并在缩小和消除相关差距方面取得进展 致癌。 癌症发病率的种族和民族差异是有据可查的。虽然数据表明 获得高质量的护理有助于癌症的差异，其他因素也发挥着重要作用， 包括肿瘤生物学、遗传学、激素状况、生活方式和行为、筛查政策、 合并症，环境暴露和风险，治疗的质量和反应，以及后 治疗性监测。本次会议和系列会议的目标是为 科学家和其他在不同学科工作的专业人士一起讨论 该领域的最新发现，并刺激癌症健康新研究的发展 差距。
