Black Family Cancer Awareness Week

Join us as we converse with Dr. Luckson Mathieu from the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence . "The FDA Oncology Center of Excellence began its National Black Family Cancer Awareness initiative in 2021 coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the National Cancer Act and the signing of Presidential Executive Order 13985, with a week-long social media campaign to increase cancer awareness in one of the most vulnerable segments of the US population. This initiative, now a year-round project, aims to marshal community-based stakeholders to build knowledge surrounding cancer clinical trial participation and minority population specimen donations to national genomic databases for cancer research. Our 2023 activities began in January with stakeholder meetings and culminate in the one-week social media campaign, June 15-21. "- FDA Oncology Center of Excellence
