The new Avanzando Equidad de Salud Center: Latino Cancer Health Equity Research Center will aim to provide equitable cancer care, decrease the burden of cancer and improve health outcomes for Latino patients.
at UT Health San Antonio will lead the center with two scholar-led cancer control research projects.
The need for the center is supported by data that shows Latinos living in South Texas face a disproportionate risk of getting cancer. Ramirez said the center will target these inequities, which create a heavy cancer burden on South Texans. One researcher will aim to increase vaccination in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. Another will aim to improve breast cancer treatment adherence among Latinas. Additional research scholar projects will be added over time, according to UT Health San Antonio.
