ABSTRACT
Racial health disparities within gynecologic cancers persist. We aim to explore the impact of epigenetics on these disparities and how social determinants of health fuel this effect. We queried PubMed with terms associated with social determinants of health and epigenetics in the scope of 3 gynecologic cancers ovarian, endometrial, and cervical. Using the publications found, we highlight various socioeconomic and environmental factors that may influence epigenetic mechanisms and further disparities in cancer incidence, mortality, and treatment. This narrative review exposes existing gaps in evidence and provides recommendations of future preventive efforts that can target the mitigation of gynecologic cancer disparities.
