Black women have higher state-level rates of TNBC. MedTwitter breastcancer
The analysis revealed that incidence rate ratios of TNBC were significantly higher among Black women compared with White women in all states with data on this population. Rates ranged from a low of 1.38 in Colorado to a high of 2.32 in Delaware.
Existing research shows that TNBC is diagnosed more frequently among non-Hispanic Black women than among other populations in the US, but it's unclear whether these racial and ethnic disparities differ at the state level. The authors also uncovered significant state-by-state variations in TNBC incidence by racial and ethnic groups. The lowest IR rates occurred among Asian or Pacific Islander women in Oregon and Pennsylvania — fewer than 7 per 100,000 women — and the highest occurred among Black women in Delaware, Missouri, Louisiana, and Mississippi — more than 29 per 100,000 women.
Existing evidence indicates that Black and White women living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods are at higher risk of developing more aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, Sung said. Another factor, Sung and co-authors note, is breastfeeding. Across races, women who breastfeed have lower rates of TNBC.
