Webinar - Inequities in breast cancer: What's race got to do with it?
Printer-friendly versionA free webinar by Breast Cancer Action (San Francisco) is being offered on both May 15 and 16:
Why are white women more likely to develop breast cancer, yet African American, Latina and Samoan women are more likely to die from the disease? Why do women of color tend to develop more aggressive breast cancers at earlier ages than white women? Why are we seeing the sharpest rise in breast cancer rates in Japanese women in Los Angeles?
Race and ethnicity play a huge role in the answers to these questions because so often where we live, work and play is tightly bound to our racial make-up.
Join them for this free one-hour webinar to learn about what you can do to help achieve health equity - the highest level of health - for everyone.
