What is Black Women Face Higher Breast Cancer Risk about?

Black women are three times more likely than women of other races to develop an aggressive form of breast cancer known as triple negative breast tumors, according to a new study. The study found that triple negative tumors were just as common in black women diagnosed before or after age 50, and in those who were or were not obese. The higher prevalence of these tumors in black women across all age and weight categories likely contributes to poorer breast cancer outcomes for black women.
