Did you know? A 2022 study found that in malignant pheochromocytoma, black patients were less likely than white patients to receive any form of systemic therapy. We can do better for the black community affected by #pheo #para! 😞

[Lung Cancer Connection @LungCancerConne]

Black Americans have the highest mortality rate in lung cancer but are under-represented in clinical trials (research studies that can test new medications and treatments). Representation matters & helps improve outcomes for all Black Americans facing a diagnosis.

Black people are highly underrepresented in cancer clinical trials. Diversity in clinical trials is crucial to understanding the efficacy of new treatments in these populations.
