Breast cancer may be more difficult to detect in minorities

An astonishing new research study suggests that breast cancer may be more difficult to detect in minority women. The reason being that minority women tend to have denser breasts and as most of you who went to the breast cancer event should know, dense breasts are harder to see through with a mammogram. This adds to the plethora of reasons for why minorities, mostly blacks, face cancer disparities when it comes to screening, access, and treatment.

This article gives a little breakdown of how breast cancer affects each minority group differently.
