Upcoming Webinar | Culturally Competent and Individualized Care for the African-American Patient
SBI
Please join us on Wednesday, February 23 at 6:30 p.m. ET for the upcoming webinar, “Culturally Competent and Individualized Care for the African-American Patient.” The main purpose of this webinar is to enhance cultural training for the medical professionals responsible for the breast care of African Americans. Cultural competency in health care is the ability to recognize and understand cultural distinctions, address unconscious/conscious bias, and adapt care delivery and services to meet individuals’ unique social, cultural, and language needs.
The provider who can establish a bond of trust with his/her African American patient will find a profound improvement in the quality of care and willingness of the patient to take wellness and risk-reducing advice. In addition, this webinar will highlight the disparities in breast cancer mortality among African American women and provide approaches for providers to close the gaps.
This is the final webinar in the diversity series launched last summer to improve diversity and inclusion for members and the overall community. Make plans to join this live discussion on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Moderator:
Dr. Rifat Wahab
Panelists:
Dr. Karen Bankston, University of Cincinnati
Dr. Tatianie Jackson, Geisinger

New PET tracer detects more metastases in cancer patients
Medscape
A new tracer for use in PET imaging can detect more metastases in patients with cancer than the standard tracer, leading to predictions of a "paradigm shift" in this field.
The new tracer, 68Ga-FAPI, detected more metastases in patients with lung cancer than the standard tracer, 18F-FDG, which has been in use for years.

Novel strategy prevents triple-negative breast cancer from metastasizing in mice
Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News
Triple-negative breast cancer is considered to be more aggressive and has a poorer prognosis than other types of breast cancer, mainly because there are fewer targeted medicines that treat triple-negative breast cancer. Studies have shown that triple-negative breast cancer is more likely to spread beyond the breast and more likely to recur after treatment.

New path to treat advanced triple-negative breast cancer
Yale University via ScienceDaily
A new study by researchers at Yale Cancer Center shows inhibition of the CECR2 gene prevents triple-negative breast cancer from advancing or metastasizing. The discovery is an early step in finding new therapeutics for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most difficult disease sub-types to treat. The findings are published online today in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
