2022 Prevent Cancer Advocacy Workshop
Cancer screening disparities in the LGBTQ+ community
The LGBTQ+ community faces unique barriers when accessing the health care system. Both preventive and essential care are affected, which can result in disparities in cancer risk and treatment.
As the Prevent Cancer Foundation® works toward its mission of empowering people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection, we must address cancer screening disparities in the LGBTQ+ community. At the 2022 Advocacy Workshop, we brought together patient advocacy organizations and LGBTQ+ community and health experts to discuss what needs to change.
