This perspective on Settle et al. (beginning on p. 776 in this issue of the journal) discusses the racial disparity in oropharyngeal cancer survival in relation to the biological factor human papillomavirus and its association with sexual behavior. This discussion is expanded to a more general consideration of biological and nonbiological (e.g., socioeconomic and cultural) factors affecting racial disparities in disease.
这篇关于塞特尔等人的观点（始于本期杂志第776页）讨论了口咽癌生存率方面的种族差异，涉及生物因素人乳头瘤病毒及其与性行为的关联。该讨论进一步扩展到对影响疾病种族差异的生物和非生物（如社会经济和文化）因素的更全面考量。
