In solidarity with women who were affected by breast cancer, I will be posting presentations about that topic to encourage women during this October.

1. Which of women are more
likely to die of Breast Cancer?
By: Abdellatif Hakawati

2. The American Cancer Society in its latest study said that
322,000 American women have been rescued from breast
cancer in the last 25 years, with 39% of Americans dying
from the disease according to WebMD.

3. But the study found that dark-skinned women did not
benefit from adequate services and were 42% more likely
to die than white-skin women.

4. Cynara Coomer, a breast
cancer specialist, explained
that women with dark skin are
more likely to get the disease,
especially in early stage, and
that the treatment of tumors in
their breasts is more difficult,
but they do not have the care
and treatments needed to
combat the disease in
America.

5. The association summarized its study that breast cancer
affects and kills dark-skinned women more than whites in
the United States.
