Title: "State of the Csncer Union: Minority Report"

Areas to explore include:

• Cance disparities are a matter of social justice and civil rights.
• Cancer disparities place an avoidable economic and financial burden on families and communities.
• Cancer incidence and mortalit are linked to the community in which you live and its characteristics such as schools, transportatiion, and housing.

The State of the cancer Union: Minority Report brings together those who represent all aspects and perspectives of the disease in collaboration with the leadership and front-line personnel from affected communities. Our purpose is to engage in a dialogue that explores issues, finds solutions, and make recommendations for the various complex problems related to cancer.
