Estela Rodriguez: The true experts at the cancer health equity table

ASCO24 The true experts at the cancer health equity table are the patient advocates and community leaders.

No healthequity tourism here- these leaders speak truth to power and continue to do the work when grant money dries up.

How do we support/engage community leaders as true partners.
