Tagged: Arizona, latinaPosted on: December 3rd, 2007
A new study shows Hispanic women have a higher incidence of aggressive forms of breast cancer compared with non-Hispanic white women.
The study, by the Arizona Cancer Center, shows that 42 percent of Hispanic women with breast cancer lack a hormone receptor, or protein, that allows cancer medication to target and destroy cancer cells.
In non-Hispanic white women, it’s 33 percent.”*
