Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in adults under 50 — and Black men are 40% more likely to die from it than white men. Dr. Charles R. Rogers, a behavioral scientist and cancer researcher, watched his Aunt Joann get misdiagnosed multiple times before doctors finally found Stage 4 colorectal cancer — a disease he says is one of the most preventable when caught early. She died in 2016 at 60 years old, and that loss drove Rogers to dedicate his career to closing the screening and survival gap that still costs Black families lives they don't have to lose.
