The Black Wo(Men) Speak Symposium was held before SABCS on December 5, 2022. The goal of the symposium was to highlight the need for increased diversity in clinical trials and discuss ways to break down barriers to trial participation, increase patients’ trust in the healthcare system, and design strategies to improve access to trials.
