Overall, this group is more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage and is underrepresented in cancer trials and studies.\u00a0 With 1 in 3 U.S. Hispanics (both women and men alike) being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime<sup>1<\/sup>, there is an urgent need to focus on racial health inequities that directly affect this group. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CRI, a nonprofit organization spearheading transformative immunotherapy scientific research to cure all cancers, believes that access to in-language information, research and clinical trials is imperative to the success and wellbeing of the U.S. Hispanic patient and caregiver community. \u00a0Cancer immunotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses the body&#8217;s own immune system to control and eliminate cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Immunotherapy has transformed treatment for many patients and is the future of cancer care for many more, and we believe it should be accessible to all. Providing information, education and support to patients and their caregivers bilingually is one way the Cancer Research Institute can help this community on their cancer journey,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jill O&#8217;Donnell-Tormey<\/span>, Ph.D., CEO and director of scientific affairs at CRI.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, U.S. Hispanic men and women are twice as likely than non-Hispanic white individuals to die from liver cancer, and Hispanic women are more likely to die of cancers of the cervix and stomach compared to non-Hispanic white women in the U.S. In addition, the National Behavioral Health Network explains that this community is seeing limited access to quality healthcare due to certain social determinants of health, including lack of access to culturally appropriate health services, including health care professionals who speak Spanish.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>This year marks the ninth annual Cancer Immunotherapy Month\u2122 organized by CRI, during which CRI is launching a series of U.S. Hispanic-targeted efforts including the Spanish-language website and resource hub where research, patient testimonials and clinical trials information is now available in-language.
