Epidemiologic cohorts of cancer aetiology have contributed substantially to the current understanding of cancer risk factors. Advancements in technologies could facilitate more precise, efficient and scalable assessments of emerging risk factors, ranging from ‘cells to society’. Because of the increasingly recognized necessity of addressing the roles of structural and social determinants of health, as well as the inclusion of underserved and understudied populations, a new generation of epidemiologic cohorts for cancer is warranted. Epidemiologic cohorts of cancer have contributed to the current understanding of cancer risk factors. In this Comment, Gomez and Cheng advocate for a new generation of cohorts that include underserved and understudied populations, and also address the roles of structural and social determinants of health.

癌症病因学的下一代流行病学队列


癌症病因学的流行病学队列对当前对癌症危险因素的理解做出了重大贡献。技术进步可以促进对从“细胞到社会”等新兴风险因素进行更精确、高效和可扩展的评估。由于人们越来越认识到解决健康的结构性和社会决定因素的作用的必要性，以及纳入服务不足和研究不足的人群，因此有必要建立新一代癌症流行病学队列。癌症流行病学队列有助于当前对癌症危险因素的理解。在这篇评论中，戈麦斯和程倡导新一代人群，其中包括服务不足和研究不足的人群，并解决健康的结构性和社会决定因素的作用。
