Cancer in young women is rising—and no one’s talking about it loud enough.

🚨 CANCER IN YOUNG WOMEN IS ON THE RISE 🚨
This isn’t your grandmother’s breast cancer. I see women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s—too often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to “wait and watch.” We can't afford that anymore.

🎙️ I went LIVE on WCPT 820 - Chicago's Progressive Talk to discuss this urgent trend—and what every woman (and every doctor) needs to know.

💥 We covered:
• Why more young women are getting cancer
• Why late diagnosis is still happening
• How YOU can advocate for earlier, smarter care

📢 Cancer is striking younger—and we need to talk about it.

My op-ed in the highlights the rising rate of cancer in women under 50. This is a wake-up call for medicine, research, and public health.

Grateful to my team at for supporting this message. Let’s keep pushing for earlier detection, better tools, and equity in care.

I recently joined a panel of experts for a webcast discussing the alarming rise in cancer diagnoses among women under 50.

Our conversation sparked important dialogue—and media coverage, including this story from WBBM Newsradio.

Grateful to be part of this critical conversation and to raise awareness around early detection and prevention.
