Even though Latinx people have lower rates of common# cancers like breast/chest, colorectal, lung, and prostate, they are more affected by #gallbladder, #liver, #stomach, #uterine, and #cervicalcancer. https://t.co/BUfuqh4gVQ #minorityhealthmonth #MHM htt

#Cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage in Latinx people when the disease is more difficult to treat, perhaps the result of economic and cultural #barriers to cancer care and lower use of prevention screening. https://t.co/kBBq5olIqh #MinorityHealthMo

Latinxs are underrepresented in #cancer registries, #research, and #clinicaltrials making data on cancer incidence in this population difficult to represent accurately. https://t.co/yxp7xw0ELE #MinorityHealthMonth https://t.co/khVSPIO5uA
