BREAST CANCER
Some good news
Breast cancer death rates among women decreased during 2010-2014, but racial differences persisted, according to a study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Our latest data suggest some improvement for black women when it comes to disparities,” said Lisa Richardson, Director of CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. “First, the decline in deaths suggests that white and black women under 50 are benefiting equally from cancer treatments. Second, we’re hopeful the lack of difference in death rates between black and white women under 50 will start to be seen in older women.”
