Episode 373: HER: Beyond Biology: How Inequity Drives Breast Cancer Risk for Black Women

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we’re exploring what happens when inequity itself becomes a risk factor for breast cancer in the Black community — shaping who gets screened, how quickly they’re diagnosed and, ultimately, who survives. Our guest, Dr. Lori Pierce, is a renowned radiation oncologist, former ASCO president and Komen Scholar, and national leader in advancing equity in cancer care. She has dedicated her career to improving outcomes of women with breast cancer, with a focus on the underserved, by transforming not just treatments but the systems that deliver them. Her perspective is rigorous, compassionate and urgently needed.
