Is #OncoFertility care equitable? In a Texas study led by @abettstx, Black women diagnosed with cancer as adolescents and young adults were less likely to have a live birth after cancer than women of other races. https://t.co/B89ZnwrZpa

To improve the situation for young people with cancer, we have to have a clear picture of the needs. Important NCTN Task Force consensus recs on use of patient-reported outcomes for AYAs in clinical trials.

Excited to share I’ve started a TL1 fellowship in clinical & translational science with @MDAndersonNews and @UTHealthHouston. Spent today with @mroth_MD at the incredible #AYACancer Clinic at MDA. Nothing more thrilling than seeing AYA survivorship care in action!

@ProfKimBaker Simply put, we won’t solve health disparities and inequities without addressing racism and its co-conspirators (#sexism, #classism, #ageism, #ableism, #colorism). What is working is the acknowledgement that #racism is a public health crisis, however...
Q4 How do we address the public health crisis of racism and advance racial equity to improve health? What’s an example that’s working in your community, and where can we do better? #NPHWChat @UnitedHealthGrp
