CLICK HERE TO REACH the official webpage of the 11th Annual Conference: Breast Cancer and African Americans (BCAA) hosted and sponsored by the Stanford Cancer Institute’s Office of Cancer Health Equity and Community Engagement! We are pleased to host our conference virtually again this year for everyone’s convenience and safety. The purpose of BCAA is to help eliminate breast cancer disparities in Black/African American populations in the Greater SF Bay Area and surrounding communities through the dissemination of high-quality, timely, and culturally tailored cancer information, education, and resources.
Despite the progress made in breast cancer, Black women in the U.S. are still being diagnosed with breast cancer at younger ages, at later stages, and with more aggressive forms of breast cancer ultimately resulting in higher death rates from the disease. We invite you to JOIN US for an informative dialogue with clinicians, health professionals, researchers, cancer survivors, caregivers, advocates, and other key stakeholders to discuss topics covering the spectrum of breast health and cancer including, but not limited to breast self-awareness, breast cancer risk, early detection, nutrition/healthy eating, physical activity, treatment options, clinical trials research, survivorship, stress management, and advocacy.
BCAA Conference Highlights include:
- Distinguished speakers and experts in cancer, health, and wellness
- Latest breast cancer topics, information, and resources
- Helpful tips on nutrition/healthy eating, physical activity, stress reduction, and mental wellness
- Intimate fireside chat with breast cancer champions
- Real-Life Conversations featuring award-winning television host and breast cancer survivor, Ananda Lewis
- BCAA Souvenir Program Booklet (digital version)
- Virtual Health Resource Fair
- Continuing Education credits available for RNs, Social Workers, and CHES
