WELCOME to the official webpage of the Breast Cancer and African Americans (BCAA) Virtual Summit 2020! The Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) is pleased to host its 9th annual event focused on eliminating breast cancer disparities in African American populations in the Greater SF Bay Area and surrounding communities through the dissemination of high quality, timely and culturally-tailored health information and resources.
Recent studies show that Black women in the U.S. are diagnosed at younger ages, at later stages, and with more aggressive forms of breast cancer, in addition to having higher death rates than white women from the disease. Join us for an informative dialogue with clinicians, health professionals, researchers, cancer survivors, caregivers, advocates, and other key stakeholders. We have a wonderful lineup of expert speakers and sessions covering the spectrum of breast health and cancer including, but not limited to breast self-awareness; breast cancer risk; early detection; nutrition; physical activity; treatment and clinical trials research; survivorship; and advocacy.
BCAA Virtual Summit 2020 Highlights include:
- Distinguished speakers and cancer/health experts representing the diverse knowledge and expertise within the African American community
- Discussion of the latest breast cancer topics, including the impact of COVID-19|
