Many of these cases could be prevented \u2014 nearly 60 percent of colorectal cancers, for example, could be avoided with early detection. Physician and UCLA researcher Dr. Folasade May is trying to understand why cancer screening rates are lagging, and what we can do to get people these potentially lifesaving tests.  In the newest episode of The Dose podcast, host Joel Bervell talks to Dr. May about what might be behind the rise in colorectal cancer among younger people, the barriers to widespread cancer screening \u2014 especially for underserved communities \u2014 and her work empowering people to save their lives. This episode kicks off a new series of conversations with leaders at the forefront of health equity. ","author_name":"The Dose","author_url":"https:\/\/thedose.show","html":"
