Cancer disparities refer to differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer among different populations. These disparities can be influenced by a variety of factors, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and geographic location. Research in this area aims to identify and address the root causes of these disparities in order to reduce cancer-related inequities and improve outcomes for all individuals affected by the disease. This research often involves studying the impact of social determinants of health, healthcare access and quality, cultural beliefs and practices, and genetic factors on cancer outcomes among diverse populations. By understanding and addressing these disparities, researchers hope to achieve more equitable cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship for all individuals.
