Knowledge vs. Cancer Fighting cancer with everything we know™ Welcome,   Announcing the Launch of the AccessHope Blog: Knowledge vs. Cancer   All of us at AccessHope are excited to announce the launch of our blog, where we deploy the latest evidence-based recommendations, research, knowledge, and insights.   Each month, we'll send one round-up email including topics like: Why innovations in cancer treatments can equal better outcomes and lower overall employer costs How to help employees with cancer get access to diagnostic expertise What employers can do right now to address disparities in cancer care Visit Our Blog The harsh truths of cancer health disparities A troubling gap exists between cancer treatment and cancer outcomes based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and other characteristics.1 What have we most recently learned, and how can we imperatively close this gap?   While certain statistics may reflect progress—e.g., the cancer death rate for African American individuals was 33% higher than for white individuals in 1990 but 16% higher in 2016—a huge discrepancy persists. The contributing factors to cancer are complex, such as genetics, a lack of medical research across diverse study subjects, and differences in access to care.1  → Read the blog to see the concerning statistics See the Statistics Featured in The Cancer Letter: Robert Stone: City of Hope aims to transform cancer care nationally through new models, partnerships Read the Article Cancer screenings slide during COVID-19 Screening for cancer during a pandemic Even during COVID-19, regular cancer screenings can help detect cancer early, get those diagnosed on the right course of treatment, and save lives. → Learn the importance of screening May is skin cancer prevention month: find it early Routinely performing a check on suspicious moles may help detect skin cancer early, at its most treatable stage. → Learn the ABCDE check Meet Our Experts Nurse practitioner Angie Kim During Nurses Month, we're highlighting the nurses who dedicate their time and energy to supporting AccessHope members on their cancer journeys.
