Abstract

Purpose of review: Cancer-related inequities are prevalent in Wisconsin, with lower survival rates for breast, colorectal, and lung cancer patients from marginalized communities. This manuscript describes the ongoing efforts at the Medical College of Wisconsin and potential pathways of community engagement to promote education and awareness in reducing inequities in cancer care.

Recent findings: While some cancer inequities are related to aggressive disease biology, health-related social risks may be addressed through community-academic partnerships via an open dialogue between the community members and academic faculty. To develop potential pathways of community-academic partnerships, an annual Cancer Disparities Symposium concept evolved as a pragmatic and sustainable model in an interactive learning environment. In this manuscript, we describe the programmatic development and execution of the annual Cancer Disparities Symposium, followed by highlights from this year's meeting focused on geriatric oncology as discussed by the speakers.

威斯康星州密尔沃基市差异问题年度研讨会，2023 年重点关注患癌症的老年人。

审查目的：在威斯康星州，与癌症相关的不公平现象十分普遍，来自边缘化社区的乳腺癌、结直肠癌和肺癌患者的存活率较低。本手稿介绍了威斯康星医学院正在开展的工作以及社区参与的潜在途径，以促进教育和提高认识，减少癌症治疗中的不公平现象：虽然一些癌症不平等与侵袭性疾病生物学有关，但与健康相关的社会风险可通过社区成员与学术教师之间的公开对话，通过社区-学术合作关系加以解决。为了开发社区-学术合作的潜在途径，一年一度的癌症差异研讨会概念逐渐发展成为互动学习环境中的一种务实、可持续的模式。在本手稿中，我们将介绍年度癌症差异研讨会的计划制定和执行情况，然后介绍今年会议的亮点，重点是老年肿瘤学，正如演讲者所讨论的那样。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
