Abstract
Abstract Despite many advances in cancer research, cancer health disparities have persisted globally. Cancer incidence and mortality rates are declining in most high income countries while low and middle income (LMIC) countries continue to experience an increase in the burden of cancer incidence and death rates. Furthermore, cancer research in many LMIC populations has been underrepresented and understudied in general which further exacerbates cancer health disparities in populations within those countries. Global cancer research contributes valuable data towards understanding and addressing cancer prevention and control in the United States, in particular cancer disparities faced by diverse populations including immigrant populations. The study of cancer health disparities globally also provides numerous opportunities to address disparities observed in different geographic regions around the world. This presentation highlights the significance of global cancer health disparities research US and global perspectives. Citation Format: Camille C.R. Ragin.
