Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume reviews disparities in cancer genetics, etiology, treatment and survivorship that are associated with differences in energy balance |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and how those differences and disparities may be affected by geography, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, biology, behavior and others. State-of-the-art strategies are outlined to alter these problems at the individual, community and policy levels. The book provides a comprehensive assessment of the multiple contributions of disparities in energy balance and how they affect cancer. this volume should constitute a valuable resource to disparity focused investigators at all levels and serve s an important guide to professionals that deal with these issues, especially those who determine and implement policy. |
