Dr. Fitzroy Dawkins is a Medical Oncologist with over 30 years of experience teaching at Howard University College of Medicine. Throughout his career, he's conducted research in oncology and advocated for clinical trials as a biotech executive. His book Fighting For Survival: Conquering Cancer And The African American Patient provides a roadmap for improving treatment outcomes for African-Americans, particularly related to cancers. He squarely addresses the historical and cultural hesitancy to participate in clinical trials, while exploring the impact this has on treatment options. From the fears and anxieties to the guilt and the denial often accompanied with treating cancer, Dr. Dawkins offers hope and actions to lessen the gap in cancer survival rates specifically, and health-care outcomes generally.
