Ethnic specific differences in endocrine neoplasms: The role of susceptibility genes
Am J Surg.
2018 Jun.
Abstract
Ethnic disparity in disease incidence, prevalence, and outcome has been documented for a variety of diseases and cancers. Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall was one of the first to note that genetic susceptibility is one important aspect that needed to be studied to better understand cancer disparity. In this article, we cover disparity in endocrine neoplasm presentation and new, emerging genetic data that may explain this disparity.
