This multidisciplinary analysis links epidemiologic, cultural,
social, and medical analyses of cancer prevention, detection, and
care. The contributors demonstrate that different ethnic groups and
cultures have distinct concepts of cancer prevention and control.
These ideas are dynamic, shaped by personal and group histories,
social networks, technologies, politics, economics, religions,
linguistics, and other environmental conditions.
Cross-cultural writings about cancer make this book useful to
professionals and students in the disciplines of medicine, nursing,
public health, sociology, anthropology, and social welfare. The 15
articles reveal that cancer knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors are
diverse cross-cultural constructs resulting from distinct
experiences. Ideas and behaviors about prevention and control may
be shared or individual and idiosyncratic. The book is composed of
three sections: I. Cancer Beliefs and Behaviors; II. Interventions
in Review; III. New Strategies for Cancer Research. The authors,
including anthropologists, epidemiologists, health educators,
nurses, and physicians, explicate notions of prevention and
control, and assess interventions and methodologies that illustrate
generally ignored successes in decreased mortality and morbidity
among members of specific populations.
