This session describes disparities in breast cancer incidence and mortality between minority women and non-Hispanic White women in the United States. The most recent SEER 21 invasive breast cancer incidence data (2014-2017) and National Center for Health Statistics mortality data (2014-2018) show that non-Hispanic Black, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Native American, and Hispanic women have higher percentages of invasive breast cancers at younger ages and at more advanced stages, and a higher percentage of breast cancer deaths at younger ages, than non-Hispanic White women. The session will discuss ways to reduce these disparities, especially those leading to higher breast cancer deaths among minority women.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the disparities in breast cancer incidence and mortality between minority women and non-Hispanic White women
Discuss some of the factors responsible for breast cancer incidence and mortality disparities between minority women and non-Hispanic White women
Develop actions that may ameliorate these breast cancer disparities.
