Join IndyStar for a Facebook Live discussion with Dr. Francesca Duncan about cancer disparities during National Cancer Prevention Month.
The data is compelling. According to the American Lung Association, Black and Latino Americans with lung cancer were 15% less likely to be diagnosed early and Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders with lung cancer were 16% less likely to be diagnosed early compared to white Americans.
Black Americans are 12% less likely to survive five years compared to white Americans; Latino Americans are 25% less likely to survive five years, and Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders are equally likely to survive five years compared to white Americans. February is National Cancer Prevention Month, and we’re talking lung cancer disparities and what we can do to live healthier lives with Dr. Francesca Duncan, a board-certified pulmonologist at Eskenazi Health and IU Hospital system and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University.
