This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel
discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in
Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas,
USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for
Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos - the
largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United
States - are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming
years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer
prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few
decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly
kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers
and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of
Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as
progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science
research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and
what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and
treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated
into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters
summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the
specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for
future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the
chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs.
Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin
American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of
diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es
tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging
policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in
Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key
insights into actionable targets for basic science research,
suggestions for clinical best practices and community
interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to
reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an
engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other
healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others
with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.
