Why Are Some Women Dying of Breast Cancer

at Higher Rates?
African American women are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, but up to 40 percent more likely to die from it than Caucasian women. There are many reasons for these disparities in outcomes for women of color. Some are genetic; some socio-economic; some cultural. Most involve access to quality medical care and education about resources available to these groups.
