Uninformative Clinical Trials: Why They Happen and How Advocates Can Drive Change
When: Thursday, June 12 at 3:00 pm EST
Speaker: Nora Hutchinson (MD), University of California, San Francisco
Description: Too many clinical trials fail to provide meaningful answers that improve patient outcomes. These “uninformative” trials waste resources, delay progress, and leave patients without the critical evidence needed to make informed decisions. Why do such trials continue to be conducted? What are the structural and systemic factors that allow them to persist? And most importantly, how can patient advocates push for trials that truly advance breast cancer research and treatment?
Historical Redlining and the Ongoing Influence on Breast Cancer Risk and Survival
When: Thursday, July 10 at 3:00 pm EST
Speaker: Sarah Lima, MPH, PhD, Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, University at Buffalo
Description: Historical redlining is a residential segregation policy from the 1930s that influenced urban planning in cities across the US. Despite being outlawed in the 1960s, redlining has been shown to be associated with present-day neighborhood socioeconomic conditions, health resources, and physical environment — all factors important for breast cancer risk and survival. This webinar will cover how redlining is associated with breast cancer risk factors and survival disparities today and potential paths forward.
