520 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.
