It is not news that significant disparities in cancer-related outcomes exist across race and ethnicity. There is a wealth of literature to document disparate care, particularly with respect to black versus white disparities in cancer survival.^1,2 Disparities in cancer-specific survival go beyond just race/ethnicity, however, and include differences across sociodemographic characteristics, including individual socioeconomic position (education, income),² insurance status,³ neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES),^4,5 and marital status.⁶ In addition, it is well established that differences in clinical factors contribute to the disparities seen in survival after cancer, including varying tumor characteristics at diagnosis, differences in treatment, access to health care, and health-seeking behaviors.⁷

推进癌症健康差异研究的科学

种族和族裔之间在与癌症相关的结果方面存在重大差异并不是新闻。有大量文献记录了不同的护理，尤其是关于癌症生存中的黑人与白人之间的差异。^1,2，针对癌症的生存差异不仅限于种族/民族，还包括不同社会人口统计学特征的差异，包括个体社会经济地位（教育，收入），²保险身份，³邻里社会经济地位（SES），^4,5和婚姻状况。⁶此外，已经公认的是，临床因素的差异会导致癌症发生后生存率的差异，包括诊断时肿瘤特征的变化，治疗方法的差异，获得医疗保健的方式以及寻求健康的行为。⁷
