Inflammatory Breast Cancer—Improving Symptom Awareness
TheoryLab Podcast with Dr. Gayathri Devi
“In the last 2 years, my family experienced cancer first hand, and boy has that grounded me. (She was diagnosed with a rare cancer, and her mother was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) even though none of the known risk factors applied to her.) I felt this was important for me to share publicly, as I consider American Cancer Society extended family.
“So to all who are listening, I’ll say, ‘cancer—or for that matter, any ailment—is personal’. I still have moments when it hits me that despite my work in this area, numerous talks I’ve given, and access to care on rare cancer, a rare cancer went undetected in my family, and another rare cancer was barely detected on time." —Gayanthri R. Devi, PhD, ACS Grantee from Duke University School of Medicine
Mammography: How Effective Is It?
A TheoryLab Podcast with Drs. Anne Marie McCarthy and Lauren Teras
“One thing we know is that screening mammogram quality varies quite a bit. This is particularly a problem in lower-income neighborhoods, and we know that Black women are more likely to be screened with a mammogram that is of lower quality. So something that is super important for policy makers and all of us to push for is to improve [the availability of] higher quality mammograms for all women."—Anne Marie McCarthy, PhD, ACS grantee from University of Pennsylvania Medical School
