Black activists blast breast cancer guidelines
A study from the Boston School of Medicine found black women were three times more likely to develop triple negative cancer, a particularly virulent strain of breast cancer that is resistant to traditional treatment, regardless of the age or size of the woman. Over the past year, BlackAmericaWeb.com and “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” have been actively involved in the effort to enroll more black women in the Sister Study, the only long-term study in the United States and Puerto Rico of women ages 35 to 74 who’ve never had breast cancer but whose sisters have had the disease. Researchers believe the Sister Study will better determine why women get breast cancer, especially reasons that concern environment and genes. |

The American Cancer Society has reported that racial and ethnic minorities still tend to receive lower-quality health care than whites even when insurance status, income, age and severity of conditions are comparable and are still more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at a later stage when treatment is less successful.
