For more than 75 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has published some of the most respected peer-reviewed journals in oncology.
CancerSpeak, the official podcast of the ACS Journals, brings this legacy to life through conversations with experts in clinical oncology and related disciplines, connecting listeners with the research and perspectives featured across its titles.
Originally launched in 2023 to highlight research from Cancer, the podcast is expanding to feature work across the full ACS journals portfolio, including CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Cancer Cytopathology, and Pediatric, Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer.
Each episode examines timely topics with leading experts in their fields, including recent studies, new clinical guidance, and major highlights from annual meetings. When possible, episodes incorporate the patient experience, highlighting the real-world impact of the work we publish.

Black women have long been underrepresented in large-scale cancer studies, leaving critical gaps in our understanding of the factors influencing cancer risk and outcomes. The VOICES of Black Women Study, launched by the American Cancer Society, is leading efforts to close these gaps by examining a range of health and social determinants to better understand their impact on cancer and other health conditions experienced by Black women.
In this episode of CancerSpeak, Cancer Disparities Research Section Editor Dr. Camille Ragin speaks with Dr. Lauren McCullough, one of the study’s principal investigators and the lead author of a newly published editorial in Cancer that explores the rationale behind the VOICES study and its potential to drive meaningful change in cancer prevention and care.
