Black Americans have the highest mortality rate across all cancers combined. This week marks the fourth National Black Family Cancer Awareness Week, which spotlights the importance of including vulnerable minority populations in research efforts and clinical trials. This initiative once began as a week-long social media campaign, but has since become a year-round effort.

One of GO2’s top priorities is lung cancer’s unique impact on women. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States and the number of young women with lung cancer who never smoked continues to rise. In fact, two-thirds of never-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer are women. There is no clear answer as to why this is the case, and the only way to find out is with more research. To further advance making women’s health a national priority, we recently joined hundreds of women’s health champions by signing two letters sent to First Lady Dr. Jill Biden who leads the The White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research. The letters offered important insights and recommendations that will fundamentally improve the health of all women. https://lnkd.in/eF5MviDr

One of our goals at Black Women Thriving East of the River is to reduce disparities in cancer morbidity and mortality for Black women in Wards 7 & 8 of the District of Columbia. We are interested in understanding what services and supports are currently provided, at various institutions across DC, to help people with abnormal cancer screenings or those diagnosed with cancer, manage and navigate treatment and care resources. In our Cancer Patient Support and Navigation Survey, we're asking for people who provide these navigating services to share with us where those services and support currently are. If you are someone who provides any of these services, please help us by completing the survey linked below. #patientnavigation https://lnkd.in/eFTRbkjT

In 2024, as we observe World Cancer Day this February 4th, our collective voice grows stronger under the banner: 'Together, we challenge those in power.' This isn’t just another call to action—it’s a demand for immediate and substantial investment in cancer prevention, treatment, and care worldwide. 🌍💪 The reality? Cancer affects each of us, directly or through someone we hold dear. And despite the leaps in medical science, the journey towards victory is ongoing. Today, we stand to demand more—more groundbreaking research, increased funding, and universal access to quality care for every individual, transcending geographical and socio-economic barriers. Our plea is for global leaders to respond to this imperative, committing to policies and investments that don’t just save lives but forge a path towards a fair and cancer-free future. Making cancer prevention and care a paramount item on the global agenda isn’t optional—it’s crucial. Together, our strength is monumental, capable of inspiring the change we wish to see. 💖✊ #WorldCancerDay2024 #TogetherWeChallenge #CancerAwareness #GlobalAction #HealthForAll #yesGK
