Normalizing Breast Cancer Conversations with Michael Cox

12 minutes

In the U.S today, Black women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age, in later stages, with more aggressive types and have a lower 5-year survival rate. These disparities aren’t just caused by health issues but also by social injustice—unequal access to health care, a lack of diversity in medical research and services, unaddressed cultural barriers and more.

Michael Cox joins the show today to talk about these risks and normalize conversations about breast cancer.
