Dr. Manley also pulls back the curtain on a startling finding — that out of over 800 lung cancer cell lines studied, only 31 represented Black individuals — and what that means for the therapies being prescribed today. If you or someone you love is navigating cancer and wondering why the system feels like it wasn't built for you, this conversation is an important one.\nKey Takeaways:\n0:00 Introduction\n3:47 Tumor microenvironment and what drives cancer growth\n7:04 Why a single biopsy can't capture the whole tumor\n12:26 Cancer stem cells and chemotherapy resistance\n18:00 Why women were excluded from biomedical research until 1993\n20:00 The cell line diversity crisis and what it means for treatment\n28:29 How the SCHEQ Foundation is closing the health equity gap\n35:01 How to navigate a cancer diagnosis when the system fails you\nSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902.\nResources:\nSCHEQ Foundation - https://scheq.org\nInnovation for Impact Consulting - https://www.innovationforimpactllc.com/\nMedical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.
