From unethical experimentation to systematic exclusion, racism has played a terrible role in the development of American healthcare. On this mini-podcast, we discuss how the legacy of clinical trials continues to affect today's research, and share strategies for cancer programs to effectively communicate with underrepresented and marginalized populations.

Guest: Christopher Lathan, MD, MS, MPH, Medical Director, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center; Associate Medical Director, DFCI Network
