Meanwhile, self-identified race and ethnicity can be incongruent with socially assigned race and ethnicity, and how individuals are being treated in society appears to depend on socially assigned race and ethnicity. To add furt...

4th NCI Symposium on Cancer Health Disparities - Day 2
Cancer health disparities affect millions of people across the United States and globally. Disparities in cancer burden are evident by geography, race/ethnicity, genetic ancestry, immigrant status, culture, gender, sexual orientation (LGBTQ+), and socioeconomic class, among other factors. Cancer disparities are not only due to barriers in access to health care, but also due to cultural barriers, structural racism and environmental disadvantage, ancestry-related risk factors, persistent co-morbidities, and chronic stress exposure because of discrimination and social isolation. The challenge of reducing and eliminating healt...
