ABSTRACT
The burden of cancer in the United States is unevenly spread across its different populations, with stark differences in both disease prevalence and outcome on the basis of race and ethnicity. Although a large portion of these differences can be explained by a variety of sociobehavioral and socioeconomic factors, even after these exposures are taken into consideration, considerable disparities persist. In this review, we explore a conceptual framework of biological theories and unifying concepts, based on an evolutionary perspective, that may help better define common guiding principles for exploration of underlying causes of cancer health disparities. The ultimate goal of this conceptual perspective is to outline approaches that may aid in establishing integrated pathway and processes analyses to provide useful insights to guide the development of future interventions. These interventions will improve outcome, increase prevention, and ultimately eliminate all disparities.
