April 18-24 is National Minority Cancer Awareness Week (NMCAW), which focuses on minority communities across the U.S. to bring awareness to the impact of cancer in these communities and provide resources to help eliminate disparities in diagnosis and treatment.

About 1 in 2 Hispanic men and 1 in 3 Hispanic women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and cancer is the second leading cause of death among Hispanics.
