Jon Rendina and Dwight Venson of Whitman-Walker, a healthcare center historically focused on the LGBTQ+ community, join us to delve into how LGBTQ+ people and people of color face disparities in cancer incidence. Whitman-Walker, Cancer Support Community, and GRAIL are collaborating on INCLUDE, a study to evaluate multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing’s impact within federally qualified health centers. The goal: make this kind of cancer screening available to more people in the future. Jon and Dwight discuss barriers to access, how LGTBQ+ and minority experiences of cancer care can be different, and how MCED testing may play a role in helping underserved groups.
