Awareness doesn’t stop in October—education saves lives year-round.

Dr. Kristin Hsieh of NYPC joined the Health In Harlem podcast to discuss risk factors, early detection, and proton therapy treatment for breast cancers.

Empowering Awareness: The Truth About Breast Cancer
In this powerful episode of Health In Harlem, Dr. Maurice Selby sits down with Dr. Kristin Hsieh, Radiation Oncologist at the New York Proton Center, to unpack the realities of breast cancer—its prevalence, risk factors, early detection, and treatment options. Dr. Hsieh sheds light on the vital role of proton therapy, an advanced form of radiation that precisely targets tumors while protecting healthy tissue—especially important for patients with left-sided breast cancers or prior chest radiation. Together, they address common myths and misinformation surrounding breast cancer, emphasize the importance of health literacy, and explore ways communities can advocate for equitable access to life-saving care. This conversation reminds us that awareness must continue year-round—beyond October’s pink ribbons—because early detection saves lives and accurate information empowers communities. 🔗 Learn more: Health In Harlem: https://www.whcr.org/programs/health-in-harlem/ WHCR 90.3FM: https://www.whcr.org/ Health In Harlem Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/0zR4E9v1K2zjG2vT1IQbnP 📚 Trusted breast cancer resources: CDC – Breast Cancer Awareness:...
