"These findings underscore a stark reality in our healthcare system: Black women are facing higher risks of death from breast cancer compared to their white counterparts, across all types of the disease. This disparity isn't just about biology," co-author Paulette Chandler, associate epidemiol...
Although the research only looked at patients diagnosed between 1993-2015, researchers estimate that for most women diagnosed with early invasive breast cancer today, the risk of death within five years is likely less than three percent. "Our study can also be used to estimate risk fo...

Overall, Black women had a higher risk of breast cancer–related death across all tumor subtypes compared with their White counterparts.1,2 The risk of breast cancer death was approximately 50% higher among HR+/HER2- tumors (RR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.30 to 1.72]), 34% higher for ...
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1 (Xinhua) -- A new clinical study indicates that molecular test can pinpoint which patients will have a very low risk of death from breast cancer and that these "ultralow" risk patients could be treated less aggressively, leading to fewer toxic effects. ...
