You’re invited to join a Twitter Chat with two top researchers who will focus on disparities in breast cancer among minorities.
The chat, from 4-5 p.m. central on Oct. 7, 2013, is co-hosted by Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR). Two researchers will head the event:
- Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez, director of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, will address breast cancer among Latinas, particularly why they tend to suffer more late-stage disease.
- Dr. Christopher Li, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is an epidemiologist studying breast cancer outcomes and survivorship.
Ask questions and follow live on Twitter using the hashtag #BCDisparities.
You also can follow the chat via the @SusanGKomen and @AACR Twitter handles.
