- Abstract
The article discusses the reasons and potential solutions on inequalities in cancer outcomes in the U.S. It was revealed that African American have a shorter survival from diagnosis and higher mortality rates for almost all cancer compared to Americans of any other race or ethnicity. In addition, anthropologists agreed that race is a sociopolitical categorization that is not rooted in science, and there are pharmacogenetic differences among different populations.
