To find out more about Latinos and cancer, view our two main publications:
Nuestras Historias
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the No. 1 cancer killer among Latinas. In the book Nuestras Historias: Mujeres Hispanas Sobreviviendo el Cáncer del Seno (Our Stories: Hispanic Women Surviving Breast Cancer), 26 South Texas women who have fought this deadly disease describe the Latina breast cancer experience and culturally relevant coping skills in their own words. The book, a 114-page publication produced by Redes En Acción, is in full color and presented in English and Spanish.
Buena Vida Magazines
These 24-page, color, English/Spanish language publications aim to educate Hispanic communities about cancer issues and raise awareness about prevention and control activities that are intended to reduce the burden of cancer among medically underserved Hispanics/Latinos.
