Community discussion on the challenges of fighting cancer in Hispanic & Native communities

Cancer is still more common in the Anglo population than in Native American or Hispanic/Latino communities. But, the numbers are shifting & screening rates in these communities tend to be lower. What are the challenges in talking about cancer in Hispanic and Native communities? Why aren’t people getting earlier screenings? What role does access to care play? And how can we change these outcomes.
