Mortgage discrimination tied to breast cancer outcomes
Mortgage discrimination is tied to breast cancer outcomes, a study published February 20 in JAMA Network Open found.
Researchers led by Jasmine Miller-Kleinhenz, PhD, from Emory University in Atlanta found that living in a historically redlined area is tied to increased odds of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer in non-Hispanic Black women and increased odds of late-stage diagnosis in non-Hispanic white women.
They also reported that persistent mortgage discrimination is tied to higher breast cancer mortality in non-Hispanic white women, while non-Hispanic Black women were more likely to die of breast cancer n...

Study on breast density notification narratives draws mixed reaction
A recent Australian study criticizing narratives surrounding breast density notification has drawn mixed reactions from radiologists and advocates of breast cancer screening.
