The Iowa Cancer Consortium, Iowa’s statewide comprehensive cancer coalition, was awarded a $70,000 sponsorship by biotechnology company Genentech. The sponsorship will support equity training and programmatic initiatives to equitably reduce the cancer burden in Iowa. According to the Iowa Cancer Registry, Iowa is the only state in the nation with a significant increase in cancer incidence from 2015-2019. It also has the second-highest overall cancer incidence of all states. A cancer diagnosis impacts Black Iowans at a much younger age compared to the white population. Iowa’s Black population has the highest cancer incidence rates of all racial and ethnic groups for those ages 50-79, whereas Iowa’s white population has the highest rate among those 80 and older.
