Presentation
Unveiling the Tapestry: Exploring the Crucial Role of Social Determinants of Health in Cancer Research
Presenter
DescriptionThis talk delves into the often underestimated yet pivotal role that social determinants of health (SDOH) play in the landscape of cancer research. Beyond the cellular and genetic intricacies, the broader context of an individual's life can significantly influence cancer outcomes. We will unravel the interconnected web of socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors that shape health disparities and impact cancer incidence, progression, and treatment responses. By acknowledging and understanding these determinants, we can pave the way for more inclusive and effective approaches in cancer research, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between biological factors and the diverse environments in which individuals live.
