THE REALITY OF CANCER DISPARITIES

1. Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer.
2. Hispanic and Black communities have lower cancer screening rates.
3. BIPOC patients are less likely to receive cutting-edge treatments.

WHY THESE DISPARITIES EXIST

Barriers like late diagnosis due to limited screening access, implicit bias in healthcare, lack of culturally competent care, and financial or insurance challenges contribute to cancer disparities in BIPOC communities.

THE IMPACT OF EARLY DETECTION & ACCESS

Early detection can increase survival rates by up to 90% for certain cancers.

HOW WE CAN CLOSE THE CARE CAP

1. Advocate for equitable healthcare policies.
2. Support organizations improving
   BIPOC cancer care.
3. Educate communities on early detection & screenings.
4. Encourage BIPOC representation in healthcare & research.
