摘要
This perspective on Settle et al. (beginning on p. 776 in this issue of the journal) discusses the racial disparity in oropharyngeal cancer survival in relation to the biological factor human papillomavirus and its association with sexual behavior. This discussion is expanded to a more general consideration of biological and nonbiological (e. g., socioeconomic and cultural) factors affecting racial disparities in disease.
