Page 61 2025 PAINT THE PAPER PINK Lincoln Daily News Oct/Nov 2025 disparities remain for Asian American, Native American, Pacific Islander, and Black women. In 2024, ACS launched the VOICES of Black Women study to address these ongoing cancer disparities and to better understand cancer risk and outcomes. “Due in part to the work of the American Cancer Society, 3 in 4 women are now up to date on screening, which is the greatest reason mortality has reduced,” said Kamal. “But 1 in 4 are not up to date, and we need to close that gap. That’s why this October, we’re encouraging everyone to do more than wear pink, to go beyond ribbons and awareness, to take action. Because every action counts.” Learn more and ways to take action at www. cancer.org/BreastCancerAction.
