She was shocked when the test results came back. Test results can come back as “atypical” for many reasons, such as noncancerous growths like uterine fibroids. Instead, she enrolled in a study at the National Institutes of Health that involved examining women who received abnormal prenatal DNA-sequencing test results like hers. Sequencing results showing a particularly “chaotic” pattern across multiple chromosomes were observed in 47 of the 51 participants with cancer. Their treatment should not be delayed because they are pregnant,” Bianchi said.

CNN —A new study on breast cancer deaths raises questions around whether Black women should screen at earlier ages. Even though Black women have a 4% lower incidence rate of breast cancer than White women, they have a 40% higher breast cancer death rate. “When the breast cancer mortality rate for Black women in their 40s is 27 deaths per 100,000 person-years, this means 27 out of every 100,000 Black women aged 40-49 in the US die of breast cancer during one year of follow-up. They also wrote that health policy makers should pursue equity, not just equality, when it comes to breast cancer screening as a tool to help reduce breast cancer death rates. Having dense tissue in the breast can make it more difficult for radiologists to identify breast cancer on a mammogram, and women with dense breast tissue have a higher risk of breast cancer.
