Breast cancer accounts for about one in three diagnoses of cancer for women each year in the United States, yet vast disparities exist: Black women have a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer before 40—and at every age, Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer than other groups.
In this episode, we break down how screenings and vigilance can save lives among women of color, as host Ellen Beckjord talks with LaJuana Fuller, director of Women's Imaging at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, and Dr. Margaret Rosenzweig, researcher and professor of nursing at the University of Pittsburgh.
