Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet its burden is not shared equally across populations. Persistent disparities in cancer incidence, progression, treatment response, and survival among racial, ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups represent a major public health challenge. While differences in healthcare access, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, social and cultural barriers, and socioeconomic conditions contribute significantly to these inequities, growing evidence suggests that biological mechanisms also play a critical role. Notably, disparities in cancer outcomes often persist even after accounting for socioeconomic and healthcare-related factors, highlighting the need to better understand the complex interplay between biological and non-biological determinants of cancer health disparities.
