FEBRUARY 2021

February is Black History Month
Black men and women are more likely than the general population to be diagnosed with cancer at later stages when it is less treatable, and are less likely to undergo genetic counseling and testing for hereditary cancer mutations. To help address these disparities, we have partnered with patient advocate Erika Stallings on the Black & BRCA initiative to provide tailored support and resources. 

View our fact sheet about Common Myths About Cancer and Genetics in the Black community.
Watch our panel on racial disparities in hereditary cancer.
