The grim reality is that the research-driven progress against cancer has not benefited everyone equally. The AACR urges all stakeholders committed to eliminating cancer health disparities. https://t.co/lRYsUDn6Fo

[AACR @AACR]

Addressing the social determinants of health will be key to reducing and eliminating cancer health disparities. https://t.co/UJO0hyI0ar #CancerDisparitiesReport #HealthEquity

[AACR @AACR]

Disparities in cancer screening rates among different groups must be addressed to achieve #healthequity. https://t.co/ujnUDdtz66 #CancerDisparitiesReport

[AACR @AACR]

Despite spectacular progress against the collection of diseases we call cancer since the National Cancer Act of 1971, not everyone has benefited equally. We need to continue to work to eradicate cancer disparities. https://t.co/VJNl1Wkw9f #CancerDisparitiesReport

Robert F. Smith does it again: A year after wiping out student debt for Morehouse College grads, he donates $1.9M to the Prostate Cancer Foundation for research and development of a database and a test that can defeat the disease by spitting into a tube.
