The study of cancer among women, ethnic minorities, and the poor can yield useful information about etiology and lead to effective recommendations for prevention. Opportunities exist for affecting cancer rates among women by studying and altering hormonal exposures and, possibly, alcohol consumption. The study of diet among ethnic groups may be more informative than among populations with homogeneous diets. The gender and racial differences among lung cancer patients related to tobacco need further research. Innovative multidisciplinary research is needed to reduce the ethnic, gender, and institutional barriers to ensure success in the fight against cancer.
对女性、少数族裔和贫困人口中的癌症进行研究,可以得出有关病因的有用信息,并产生有效的预防建议。通过研究和改变激素暴露以及可能的酒精摄入量,存在影响女性癌症发病率的机会。对不同种族群体饮食的研究可能比在饮食同质化人群中的研究更具信息量。肺癌患者中与烟草相关的性别和种族差异需要进一步研究。需要开展创新的多学科研究,以减少种族、性别和机构障碍,确保抗癌斗争取得成功。
