Some results from our poster using the SEER database looking into outcomes disparities by race and socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status (SEE) means lower survival. When we stratify by race, Low SES means higher hazard risk of death in White and Hispanics but not in Black patients. #ASH

Today the UConn heme/onc fellows had our first book club session. Lots of interesting conversations from this book which is basically a classic for anyone training in cancer.

Tomorrow morning we will have our Global Oncology and disparities of care program!

Genetic testing/counseling for patients at risk is common in the US, but great opportunity to learn about their implementation in LMICs.
