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. Describes the complex interplay of contributors to cancer disparities, ranging from the micro to macro level, and based on the social, environmental, and biological determinants of healthProvides a range of chapters reflecting the unique expertise of the authors in these diverse topic areas INDICE: 1. The potential role of advanced glycation end-products in cancer disparity 2. The use of genetic ancestry to understand cancer disparities 3. Disparities in breast cancer, obesity, and physical activity 4. Clinical and epidemiological perspectives on lung cancer 5. MicroRNA mediated negative regulation of Caveolin 1 as a biological mechanism driving breast cancer disparities 6. Family health histories, disparities, and risk 7. Social networks across cancer disease types 8. Pre-birth environmental influences contributing to cancer disparities
