Racial disparities, cancer and response to oxidative stress.

Racial disparities, cancer and response to oxidative stress. Adv Cancer Res. 2019;144:343-383 Authors: Zhang J, Ye ZW, Townsend DM, Hughes-Halbert C, Tew KD Abstract At the intersection of genetics, biochemistry and behavioral sciences, there is a largely untapped opportunity to consider how ethnic and racial disparities contribute to individual sensitivity to reactive oxygen species and how these might influence susceptibility to various cancers and/or response to classical cancer treatment regimens that pervasively result in the formation of such chemical species. This chapter begins to explore these connections and builds a platform from which to consider how the disciplines can be strengthened further. PMID: 31349903 [PubMed - in process]
