Access to quality, inclusive care is key to the prevention and treatment of cancer in LGBTQ+ communities. Watch as Dr. William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society, breaks down the first-of-its-kind study for PBS on the latest statistics on the prevalence of cancer screening and modifiable risk factors in LGBTQ+ populations.
This is a massively important topic that must be improved on. Being in the oncology field for upwards of 7 years, I have seen a disproportionate number of LGBTQ+ individuals with high stage disease. Inclusion is necessary for improved health care.
Screening and prevention for at risk populations is so important! 👍
