Abstract

The Hispanic/Latino(x) population (H/Ls) in the United States of America is heterogenous and fast-growing. Cancer is the number one cause of death among H/Ls, accounting for 21% of deaths. Whereas for the most common cancers incidence rates are lower in H/Ls compared with non-H/L White (NHW) individuals, H/Ls have a higher incidence of liver, stomach, cervical, penile and gallbladder cancers. H/L patients tend to be diagnosed at more advanced stages for breast, colorectal, prostate and lung cancers, and melanoma compared to NHW individuals. Etiological and cancer outcomes research among H/Ls lags other populations. In this review, we provide a summary of challenges, opportunities and research priorities related to cancer etiology, cancer outcomes, and survivorship to make progress in addressing scientific gaps. Briefly, we prioritize the need for more research on determinants of obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its progression to liver cancer, stomach and gallbladder cancer, and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We emphasize the need to improve cancer screening, early detection of cancer, and survivorship care. We highlight critical resources needed to make progress in cancer epidemiological studies among H/L populations, including the importance of training the next generation of cancer epidemiologists conducting research in H/Ls.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2023.
All research outputs
#1,563,796
of 24,253,070 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention
#497
of 4,771 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,852
of 431,988 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention
#8
of 92 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,253,070 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,771 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 431,988 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 92 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
