Despite COVID-19, cancer hasn&#8217;t stopped. In 2020, more than 1.8 million in America will be diagnosed with cancer and 1 in 3 will get cancer in their lifetime. Those statistics are even higher for the Latinx community. In fact, cancer is the leading cause of death in the Latinx community. Even worse, Latino communities face vast health disparities and worse cancer outcomes due to lack of access to screening and safe, comprehensive care. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must stem the tide of cancer in our community,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Carmen Guerra<\/span>, MD, scientific officer of the American Cancer Society Board of Directors. &#8220;The American Cancer Society&#8217;s vision of a world without cancer requires that we attack the cancers that disproportionately affect Latinos and help everyone receive the screenings and care that lead to better health and better outcomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The American Cancer Society invites members of the press to share this story with their audiences to tune in for this special evening.
