In partnership with our @komfo_anokye
ICSBCS site in Kumasi, Ghana, we congratulate our Breast Cancer Nurses and staff on an exceptional #breastcancerawareness program! Global outreach and capacity building are key to end #breastcancer #disparities

[ICSBCS @ICSBCS]

It has been a GREAT #AACRdisp21 conference - where we connect as partners to address all disparities in cancer! Kudos to our scientific director, @MeliD32 and her conference co-chairs and scientific committee for a well-rounded and impactful program!

[Melissa B Davis, PhD @MeliD32]

In less than 24hrs, we open the #AACRdisp21 meeting! The program is filled with diversity, cutting-edge technology, world-class teams and a momentum to conquer disparities! @AACR has led the way in awareness and support of cancer disparities research. Join us! I can't wait!

[AACR @AACR]

The 14th AACR Conference on the Science and Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved starts at 10am ET today. #AACRdisp21 will run through Friday, Oct 8. Read more: https://t.co/ptcqXZm2r8

The same remains true…mammograms save lives and are safe!

In a recent proposal, our team planned an approach to change the culture of bias. Shifting focus from patients to providers. Perhaps to truly be transformative, we have to change the system's lens.

National Black Family Cancer Awareness Week begins soon! Learn more about it here👇🏾 and participate!

[ICSBCS @ICSBCS]

ICSBCS is excited to support National Black Family Cancer Awareness Week!
We need to have the hard conversations among our families, to be aware, to be present and empowered in our survivorship and prevention! @MeliD32 @LANewmanMD

[ICSBCS @ICSBCS]

Our latest research! It is imperative that we identify the genetic risk alleles that are common in all populations. Justice in breast cancer prevention is more than access to screening, but also that screening tools are accurate for all women, regardless of race/ancestry.

Older adult patients remain vastly underrepresented in research that sets the standards for cancer treatments. Check out this systematic review that discusses barriers to participation and interventions to improve participation of older adults in cancer trials:
