Inhaltsangabe

The Exposome in Cancer Disparities: Influence of Environmental and Infectious Factors in LMICs examines how environmental and infectious factors drive cancer inequities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The book introduces the exposome as a comprehensive framework to understand complex risk factors, such as environmental toxins, climate change, and infectious agents like HPV and HIV. The book combines scientific insights, real-world case studies, and practical strategies from international experts, highlighting region-specific contributors to cancer disparities. Structured into thematic sections, it offers a holistic view of the challenges faced by LMICs and provides actionable, evidence-based solutions tailored to resource-limited settings.

The work emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary approaches and international collaboration to develop effective prevention and policy strategies. It will benefit researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals by deepening understanding of cancer risk factors, fostering global cooperation and guiding targeted interventions to reduce health inequities and improve outcomes worldwide.
