African-Americans Began A Thicket To Die From Breast Cancer

African-Americans Began A Thicket To Die From Breast Cancer.
Black chest cancer patients are more no doubt to die than white patients, regardless of the classification of cancer, according to a new study in 2013. This suggests that the lower survival rate amongst black patients is not solely because they are more often diagnosed with less treatable types of breast cancer, the researchers said. For more than six years, the researchers followed nearly 1700 core cancer patients who had been treated for luminal A, luminal B, basal-like or HER2-enriched tit cancer subtypes.

During that period, about 500 of the patients had died, nearly 300 of them from boob cancer. Black patients were nearly twice as likely as creamy patients to have died from breast cancer. The researchers also found that black patients were less likely than fair-skinned patients to be diagnosed with either the luminal A or luminal B breast cancer subtypes.
