Francesca Gany, MD awarded $150,000 by Komen Foundation to increase participation of Limited English Proficiency patients in breast cancer trials

The Accessing Breast Cancer Clinical Trials for Immigrants (ABC CiTI) will help bridge the language barrier between limited English proficiency (LEP) patients and physicians. ABC CiTI will develop an online training program for physicians, fellows, and staff to foster enrolling LEP patients in breast cancer trials, as well as a program on clinical trials for LEP patients.  The provider training programs will be piloted with faculty, fellows, staff, and patients at NYUMC. These programs will bolster enrollment of LEP patients in current and future breast cancer trials at NYUMC, Bellevue Cancer Center, and beyond.
