“Black women are being diagnosed with more aggressive disease like hormone receptor negative diseases, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer, at more advanced stages, at younger ages, and experience a longer time to treatment,” said Dr Timiya Nolan, Assistant Professor at The Ohio state University and Nurse Scientist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
This is proving to be an increasingly large problem in much of medical research. Much detailed evaluation of the nature of diseases and testing of drugs and other treatments is done on primarily white people, with people of other races often not responding in precisely the same way to these treatments.Metastatic Breast Cancer Project
“About 40% of health is driven by social and economic factors, and health behaviors account for about 30%. We know that Black women are less likely to follow recommendations for diet and physical activity and have higher BMIs than White women. We also know that these women face more stress inducing environments with the experience of racism and discrimination, low healthcare access and/or knowledge of resources, and even challenging encounters with healthcare providers,” said Nolan.
