Cancer disparities among Black and other racial and ethnic groups are significant and require targeted efforts to address. This episode aims to shed light on these disparities, highlight ongoing initiatives, and inspire action towards equitable cancer care.
In this special episode of Cancer Conversations: One Team, One Fight, recorded during Black History Month and National Cancer Prevention Month, we explore the critical issue of cancer disparities among Black and other racial and ethnic groups. Join Dr. Gary Ellison from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Dr. Robert Winn, and Community Clovia as they discuss the unique challenges faced by these communities and the efforts being made to bridge the gap in cancer care and prevention.
This interview originally aired in February 2024.
