Abstract

Social, environmental, and biological risk factors influence exposures to newly termed 'biosocial determinants of health'. As molecular factors that lie at the intersection between lived experiences and individual biology, biosocial determinants may inform on the enduring complexity of cancer disparity across transdisciplinary studies.

Keywords: biosocial synergism; cancer disparities; glycation; inequity; social and biological determinants.
