An Aboriginal woman, Andrea Casey is a survivor of breast cancer and will be part of the panel for the event.
Ms. Casey said that she is hoping to bring a cultural lens to the forum for Aboriginal woman.
“I think we can learn from each other,” she said.
“I think that getting the word out there about clinical trials is a good thing and sharing ideas about that.”
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in the latest research and the challenges facing indigenous communities regarding breast cancer diagnosis, trials and treatments.
