Black women at risk of deadly breast cancer type

A Boston-based researchers report states that, Black women, have a threefold greater risk of developing a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer, compared with non-black women. This type of breast cancer is more deadly, in women regardless of age or body weight, in part, because it does not possess receptors for the hormones estrogen or progesterone, nor a protein called HER2.

This means that women with these "triple-negative tumors" cannot be helped by drugs that target estrogen and progesterone -- including tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors -- or by the anti-HER2 therapy Herceptin."The higher prevalence of triple-negative breast tumors in black women in all age and weight categories likely contributes to black women's unfavorable breast cancer prognosis," Dr. Carol Rosenberg from Boston University School of Medicine noted in comments to Reuters Health.
