While cancer can affect everyone, certain people, because of either their gender, race, education, or socio-economic status see worse outcomes from cancer. Access to cancer screening, as well as the quality of patients\u2019 lives after treatment, and biology all play a role.&nbsp; Dr. Mohammed\u2019s research looks at ways to understand and tackle these cancer health inequities, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video, which runs about 5:45, Dr. Mohammed specifically describes her research into health disparities in breast and cervical cancer in Sudan.\u00a0\u201cThe major milestone I think that we have achieved in cancer disparity is the acknowledgement that cancer disparity exists,\u201d Dr. Mohammed says at the conclusion of the video. \u201cAnd there is a focus now to understand it and try to work and to see how we can help eliminate this cancer disparity.\u00a0For future milestones, we want to invest in young scientists, to invest in clinical trials and build cancer research. And very important is expanding the diversity in biological reagents that we use in cancer research, that could broaden our understanding of cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/h3ajb1jwHII\">to watch Dr. Mohammad\u2019s video.<\/a> Click here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/immersive\/d42859-020-00083-8\/index.html\">to view a timeline of cancer milestones over the past two decades.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Journal Nature celebrates two decades of advancements in cancer research with the publication of Milestones in Cancer, which includes a feature on the work of Dr. Sulma Mohammed, professor of cancer biology in the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Department of Comparative Pathobiology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,41,29,11],"tags":[97,1394,744,123,8,26,2029,56,2028,125],"class_list":["post-12393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cancer","category-faculty-staff","category-our-people","category-research","tag-cancer","tag-cancer-biology","tag-cancer-research","tag-cpb","tag-faculty","tag-featured-story","tag-global-inequities","tag-homepage","tag-journal-nature","tag-sulma-mohammed"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12393"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12455,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12393\/revisions\/12455"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
