Cancer Disparities Advances in Cancer Research Series
Cancer Disparities, the latest in the Advances in Cancer Research series, provides invaluable information on the exciting and fast-moving field of cancer research. This latest volume presents a broad introduction to a spectrum of factors contributing to cancer disparities that include ancestral informative markers? role in properly identifying race based on genetic ancestry, basic biological pathways contributing to cancer disparities, epidemiological factors linked to cancer disparities, and social/behavioral factors influencing cancer disparities.
1. The Role of Advanced Glycation End-Products in Cancer Disparity 2. Disparities in Obesity, Physical Activity Rates, and Breast Cancer Survival 3. MicroRNAs and Their Impact on Breast Cancer, the Tumor Microenvironment, and Disparities 4. Applying a Conceptual Framework to Maximize the Participation of Diverse Populations in Cancer Clinical Trials 5. Social Networks Across Common Cancer Types: The Evidence, Gaps, and Areas of Potential Impact 6. Disparities in Cervical Cancer Incidence and Mortality: Can Epigenetics Contribute to Eliminating Disparities?
