139. Dr. Narjust Florez (Let’s Talk About Lung Cancer, Sexual Health and Cancer Disparities)

INTERLUDE: Cancer Stories with Dr. Teplinsky

On today’s episode, I am speaking with Dr. Narjust Florez, a thoracic medical oncologist and Associate Director of the Cancer Care Equity Program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and faculty at Harvard Medical School. Her clinical interests include targeted therapy for lung cancer, care of women with lung cancer and aspects of their cancer survivorship-including sexual health! She is the principal investigator of the Sexual Health Assessment in Women with Lung Cancer (SHAWL) Study, the largest study to date evaluating sexual dysfunction in women with lung cancer. She is also a leading researcher in cancer health disparities, gender and racial discrimination in medical education and medicine. In this conversation, we talk about it all – you will learn a ton! You can find Dr. Florez on Twitter @NarjustFlorezMD or Instagram @drnarjust.
