From the Lab to the Community: Changing the Future of Prostate Cancer

What if scientific discoveries could help explain why some prostate cancers are more aggressive—and lead to better treatment options for Black men?

Host Reggie Hicks welcomes Dr. Leanne Woods-Burnham of Morehouse School of Medicine for a conversation that connects groundbreaking research to real-world health action.

Dr. Woods-Burnham discusses the personal experience that inspired her career, promising HER2 research, the importance of Black men's participation in clinical trials, and how chronic stress may influence cancer biology.

She also introduces Morehouse's Prostate Cancer Precision Prevention Program (PCP3), which has provided free PSA screenings to more than 2,600 men across Georgia, including men without health insurance.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Prostate cancer disparities and aggressive disease

• PSA screening, family history, and early detection

• HER2 research and precision medicine

• Clinical trials and the importance of representation

• Free community screening and follow-up care
