Black women have a higher risk of dying from any type of breast cancer than White women, a new review finds. Overall, the increased survival risk for Black women ranges from 17% to 50%, depending on the type of breast cancer,

The greatest disparity in BC-specific survival was observed in women with HR+ HER2− tumors, with Black women having a 50% higher mortality risk across tumor subtypes.

Black women are more likely than white women to die from even the most treatable types of breast cancer, a study published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found.

Regardless of tumor type, Black women have higher breast cancer mortality rates. Diagnosis delays and lack of access to timely care contribute to these disparities.

Due to a lack of awareness about male breast cancer, most men are only diagnosed once it is already at an advanced stage.

A new meta-study shows that Black women are 40% more likely than white women to die from all types of breast cancer, and researchers say the reason why has little to do with biology, reports NBC News.
