      abstract = {Cancer is not randomly distributed in the United States.  Its incidence varies by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic  status, and other geographic and demographic factors. This  volume is the first to examine the biological, racial, and  socioeconomic factors that influence cancer incidence and  survival and presents 15 previously unpublished,  evidence-based interventions that can be used to reduce and  eliminate cancer disparities. The book explains the nature,  scope, and causes of cancer disparities across different  populations and then presents unique programs proven to  reduce such inequalities in the areas of cancer prevention,  screening and early detection, treatment, and survivorship.  They represent a variety of cancers, populations, and  communities across the U.S. Descriptions of each  intervention include tests of effectiveness and are written  in sufficient detail for readers to replicate them within  their own communities. Key Features: Offers an in-depth  look at the latest research behind cancer disparities.   Written by highly respected and published cancer  researchers.   Includes 15 never-before published,  evidence-based interventions that readers can replicate.   Discusses breast, colorectal, cervical, and other  pernicious cancers <li>Includes interventions for  African-American, Hispanic, Native American, and other  populations.},
