American Cancer Society’s 2009 Disparities Conference
Health Equity: Through the Cancer Lens
July 28-29, 2009
Las Vegas, NV
Health Disparities
Health disparities are differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer and related adverse health conditions, beyond what would be expected under equitable circumstances, that exist among specific population groups in the United States.
Health Equity
The state of a population’s health such that access to and receipt of appropriate quality preventive, screening, treatment, palliative, and end of life care, services and information are not determined or influenced by social, economic or political barriers is called health equity. In this conference, we look at health equity through the cancer lens.
