.Jude Carroll: “Blood tests for c-reactive protein are used routinely in the clinic to determine risk of heart disease. Our study suggests this common test for inflammation might also be an indicator of risk for cognitive problems reported by #BreastCancer survivors.” #BCSM

Congratulations to Drs. Jeanne Mandelblatt and Lucille Adams-Campbell, who were recently awarded a new NIH R21/R33 grant for their proposal, “Infrastructure for Research in Equity, Aging, Cancer and Health” (I-REACH).

I-REACH brings together the accumulated expertise of four cancer center hubs (Georgetown U, UMD, UCLA, and Karmanos/Wayne State U), national leaders and numerous stakeholders to expand the diversity of the scientific workforce at the intersection of aging, disparities and cancer.

I-REACH will support accelerated discoveries to design, deliver and evaluate interventions to guide clinical care to improve the health of the growing population and reduce health disparities among older minority cancer survivors.
