While overall rates of breast cancer in Black and White women are about the same, Black women have a higher mortality rate from breast cancer. This disparity is attributed to several factors, such as genetics, the type of breast cancer many Black women have, and differences in access to healthcare, including early detection and diagnosis. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, many women with breast cancer have no symptoms. This is why regular breast cancer screening is so important.
