What happens when a cancer scientist becomes a patient—and sees firsthand how bias and documentation can shape the care you receive?
In this episode of Earrings Off, we’re joined by Dr. Eugene Manley (cancer scientist, nonprofit founder, patient advocate) for a real, eye‑opening conversation on lung cancer & health equity.
We talk about:
✨ Why lung cancer disparities persist in Black and underserved communities
✨ The must‑ask questions after “you might have cancer” — including how to find support like a patient navigator
✨ How incomplete testing + low clinical trial representation can limit treatment options
✨ Where AI could help… and where it could reinforce disparities if the data isn’t inclusive
✨ His personal story of medical racism after surgery—and what patients can do to protect themselves
💬 If you or someone you love is navigating healthcare right now, this episode is for you.
👉 Episode drops on Sunday, 4 pm eastern wherever you listen to podcasts. Link will also be in our bio
📌 BONUS: Dr. Manley says if you message him on LinkedIn and mention the podcast, he’ll send a “2026 patient power playbook” (7 questions to ask in healthcare settings).
