Only 6% of High-Risk Patients Get Screened

Only 6% of high-risk lung cancer patients get their annual screening. Nearly half of positive colon cancer tests never receive clinical follow-up. The cancer care system isn’t just expensive, it’s leaving patients behind at every step.

Othman Laraki, Co-Founder and CEO, Color joins host John Driscoll to discuss how a virtual-first cancer clinic model is closing the massive gap between cancer risk and actual care, and why the biggest lever in cancer outcomes isn’t a new drug, it’s fixing the broken infrastructure between screening, diagnosis, and follow-up.
