A new study examining racial disparities in breast cancer survival is pointing to differences at the molecular level to explain why mortality rates may be higher in Black women.
Medical researchers have discovered substantial disparities between the breast tissue cells of white and black women, which may explain why black women have an increased chance of dying of breast cancer.
New research has shone a light on why Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer than white women, despite being less likely to develop the disease..
New research from Sanford Burnham Prebys has revealed significant molecular differences between the breast cells of white and Black women that help explain why Black women experience higher breast cancer mortality.
