We know more about cancer prevention, detection, and treatment than ever before?yet not all segments of the U.S. population have benefited to the fullest extent possible from these advances. Some ethnic minorities experience more cancer than the majority population, and poor people?no matter what their ethnicity?often lack access to adequate cancer care. This book provides an authoritative view of cancer as it is experienced by ethnic minorities and the medically underserved. It offers conclusions and recommendations in these areas: Defining and understanding special populations, and improving the collection of cancer-related data. Setting appropriate priorities for and increasing the effectiveness of specific National Institutes of Health (NIH) research programs, to ensure that special populations are represented in clinical trials. Disseminating research results to health professionals serving these populations, with sensitivity to the issues of cancer survivorship. The book provides background data on the nation's struggle against cancer, activities and expenditures of the NIH, and other relevant topics.Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1 The Struggle Against Cancer 2 The Burden of Cancer Among Ethnic Minority and the MedicallyUnderserved Populations 3 Overview of Programs of Research on Ethnic Minority and MedicallyUnderserved Populations at the National Institutes of Health 4 Evaluation of Priority Setting and Programs of Research on EthnicMinority and Medically Underserved Populations at the NationalInstitutes of Health 5 Advancing State-of-the-Art Treatment and Prevention 6 Cancer Survivorship 7 Monitoring and Reporting References Appendix A: Methodology Appendix B: A New Agenda for Cancer Control Research: Report of theCancer Control Review Group Appendix C: National Cancer Institute Health Promotion BranchPublications and Public Service Announcements Appendix D: Survey of Ethnic Minority Researchers and ofResearchers Interested in Cancer Among Ethnic Minority andMedically Underserved Groups Appendix E: National Institutes of Health and National CancerInstitute Background Material Appendix F: Information Provided by the National Center for HealthStatistics on the Potential Reductions in Mortality from Cancer, byEthnic Group Committee and Staff Biographies Index
