Nuestras Historias from 2004-2014: 10 Years of Latina Cancer Survival Stories

historias image

Latinas CAN survive breast cancer. Back in 2004, we had 26 Latina breast cancer survivors tell their unique stories of resiliency, hope and survival for Nuestras Historias: Mujeres Hispanas Sobreviviendo el Cáncer del Seno (Our Stories: Hispanic Women Surviving Breast Cancer). In 2014, we updated the stories and photos of many of the survivors, including new video interviews, as these brave Latinas continue to share their courageous stories, inspiring stories of the importance of cancer screening and that Latinas can not only survive cancer, but thrive in the workplace, school, home, and family.

The PSAs aim to spur Latino families, community leaders and healthcare professionals to conduct screening to save lives.

Redes En Acción developed four bilingual TV public service announcements (PSAs) to raise awareness of the need for greater participation by Latinos in cancer research studies. Latinos are underrepresented in federal cancer research studies and, without research, there is no cure. This campaign also featured radio and print spots.
