Cancer in Our Community

Hosted by Dr. Brandon Blue and produced by the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement, at Moffitt Cancer Center, Cancer in Our Community is a podcast that discusses Black health disparities. Why? Because while cancer is a disease that could affect any of us or our loved ones, the Black community is at greater risk. Whether that's through poor diagnosis or treatment, Black people are more likely to develop and die from many cancers. But there are those studying how to close these gaps in health care and ensure that Black patients and those close to them receive the care that they deserve.
