With only 3% of practicing oncologists identifying as Black, and less than 5% identifying as Latinx, how can we ensure these patient populations are equally represented in medical practice? Dr. Jacob Sands meets with ASCO’s current President, Dr. Lori Pierce, a Professor of Radiation Oncology and Vice Provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs at the University of Michigan, to discuss ASCO’s plan to increase quality in cancer care and research.
