While a number of books have looked at the intersection between
human health in general and other topics, such as climate change or
diet, this book focuses specifically on cancer as it impacts and is
impacted by social justice issues. The massive explosion of
research knowledge of cancer immunology and genomics is holding out
great promise of therapeutic advances, yet other human
actions-climate change, pollution, business decisions, advertising
- are fostering health inequalities as well as increasing risks.
Those involved in cancer care and research are in a unique position
to let their experiences and knowledge inform the public, yet very
often have not taken strong public roles when it comes to
discussing issues surrounding tobacco, climate change and health
risks, financial toxicity of treatments, and diet choices. Written
by a multidisciplinary team of authors and for medical oncologists,
cancer researchers, occupational health workers, and related
medical students, residents, and fellows, this book encourages
oncologists to address public health care and the societal issues
associated with cancer risk. This volume discusses the overarching
theme of environmental justice and oncology, focuses on business
and cancer (such as clinical trials, drug development and profits,
and global disparities), as well as animals and cancer.
