According to the American Cancer Society, Black women are more than 40 percent likely to die from breast cancer than white women, despite fewer cases being diagnosed. On this episode of #BenchToBedside, Dr. Joan Lewis-Wambi, associate professor in the department of cancer biology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and Dr. Danny Welch, associate director for education at the cancer center, will join us to talk about the latest in breast cancer research. Tonia Yelder, breast cancer survivor and member of PIVOT - KU Cancer Center's patient research advocacy group - will also join to share her experience.
