Minority representation in clinical trials

Join Ananth Ravi, a health care executive dedicated to democratizing health care through innovative image-guided therapeutics. In this episode, we delve into the persistent issue of racial disparities in breast cancer outcomes, exploring how women of color are disproportionately affected by later-stage diagnoses and poorer prognoses. Ananth shares his research on the role of clinical trials in addressing these disparities and the importance of minority representation. We discuss strategies to improve trust in the medical community, the challenges of increasing trial participation among Hispanic Americans, and the need for large-scale efforts to understand and eliminate health care inequities.

Ananth Ravi is a health care executive.

He discusses the KevinMD article, "Why minorities need more representation in breast cancer research."
