Everything Cancer

Dr. Eugene Manley, PhD, through his SCHEQ (STEMM Cancer Health Equity) Foundation, is dedicated to addressing disparities in lung cancer research, screening, lung cancer care for underserved communities and patients, and STEMM careers.

In the 36th episode of the Everything Cancer Podcast, Dr. Eugene Manley, PhD, joins us to discuss the important work shared through the 2nd Lung Cancer Health Equity Summit: Black and Latino Patients Navigating Lung Cancer - Stepping Stones to Equity

The summit focuses on implementing real-world solutions to improve lung cancer research, screening, care access, and outcomes. Dr. Manley’s mission is to move beyond discussions of inequity and provide a forum for actionable strategies to reduce disparities and improve outcomes.

Dr. Manley aims to bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, patients, and community leaders to share best practices and build partnerships. Topics include expanding screening access, addressing clinical trial diversity, navigating lung cancer, improving access to care, and increasing representation in lung cancer cell lines.

The importance of sincere and ongoing community engagement and trust-building is discussed. In their conversation, Dr. Manley and Jill cover the critical nature of including diverse populations in clinical trials and research to ensure effective therapies across all demographics.

Dr. Manley highlights in this conversation how the summit is designed for attendees to bring back solutions to their own communities, practices, and organizations. It is intended to foster collaboration and innovation in cancer screening and care for underserved populations. Patients will be empowered and witness living proof there are many motivated people in their corner.
