"The first step is making sure all providers who see any woman understand the standard of care that they deserve," she said."What's the age that they should? Who should they be sent to? The answer is a specialist where they're treated in a multidisciplinary fashion, not your buddy down the street."
Comen also pointed out that medical professionals don't adequately seek out Black participants for breast cancer research, which limits the quality of their care. In 2019,of clinical trial subjects for oncology drugs that were later approved.
that's probably because they don't live near maj academic centers that run these trials. I mean, Hopkins, Clev Clinic, U Chicago, Columbia Pres & MD Anderson are sooo far away from any black neighborhoods! It is not as if those hospitals actively avoid caring for their neighbors
My Obamacare deductible is $15,000, $1500 a month I can’t wait for better, lower cost healthcare from our President realDonaldTrump VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020 VoteRED2020RemoveEveryDemocrat
Really? Black breasts matters? Wtf? Another movement coming? And then they say they don’t want to be segregated but they are doing it themselves over and over and over is so upsetting! AllLivesMatter allbreastsmatter
This article is ridiculous and racist. I don’t need my doctor to “understand” me and be my color. I just need to GO to the doctor in a timely manner (harder now under Obamacare) and treat the disease.
Having or not having a dr has nothing to do with GETTING cancer.
K
Why comparing outcomes by race is stupid
Wow nbc can actually find racism in this... Twitter should ban this post for inciting division
I am sure your hack news outlet will blame it on the President.
OMG! Just stop! While there are some differences generally between white and black people. Their brain compasity is strong very little if any difference in understanding their risk to things like cancer. This is the bumpiest shit ever. I can’t even with this crap anymore.
Ahhhhhhhhh hahahahahaha. F**king clowns!!😂😂😂
Yes because they were intentionally infected with breast cancer by white people
Soooo....I felt lumps a few weeks ago. I let my healthcare team know. I don't have an appt with Dr until end of Oct and even then may not be able to get a mammogram until Jan because that is when i am due for one. Oh i have socialized medical care... VA health care system. Gtfoh
LMAO. disgusting
Perhaps if they stayed in h.s., went on to college and then to medical school there would be more black doctors. Should we dumb down that too? Make medical school easier?
100 percent chance this is not fake news, right?
Who knew that black women get breast cancer because of White people? Guess diet, smoking, drinking or covering everything in ranch sauce or cheese have “absolutely nothing” to do with it.
Doctors are the racist now.
Um no we are all one race the human race and there are literally no differences between races and implying blek womxn have inferior genetics makes you worse than Hitler ejucate yousel 💅 Sauce: A black woman on the internet told me
THIS is the true Obama legacy...
This is trash
To avoid cancer how about all people, stop being overweight, stop eating sugars, grains and vegetable oils, stop having a high eating frequency, get proper vitamins, especially vitamin D. It's almost always your own fault if you get cancer. Don't blame others.
Stupidity is not a right.
Stoke the Fire
Absolutely abhorrent.
Because the headline sounds good to your liberal pandering?
Let me guess... Because cancer is racist?
Didn't JUST get caught in lying to the people three days ago...
apparently it must be racism why black women get cancer more. another racist disease, just like Covid19, dammit! SundayThoughts
How does someone relating to your life experience become a factor for diagnosing breast cancer. What is this garbage.. these journalists are always looking to find any reason to blame white people.
'I can't tell you how often I hear, 'I trust you because you look like me' I'll take 'Things That Never Happened' for 500 Alex.
Lol what a joke
Science.....🙄
Holy crap, lol. There’s no end to your race-baiting BS. This woman found a lump & went to Planned Parenthood (w/ no diagnostic equipment like a mammogram, the 1st step in diagnosing breast cancer) then on vacation before seeing a doctor. Now blaming white people for her cancer
They are doing this for ad revenue and to get a reaction/ clicks
I miss actual news.....
Me reading this rn
So if the Oncologist wears a BLM smock that would make it better? Better then technical competence?
Everything described, from complaints not taken seriously to putting family ahead of themselves, describes women of all color.
Moral of story: don’t head to Planned Parenthood for health care advice.
You people are nuts.
Because you guys are dishonest about the cause of cancer. PERIOD
well it must be us white people huh, because we can make cancer
You don't care. Don't pretend.
Must be Trumps fault!
Defund the doctors!
Ok dude. Now explain how white people cause Japanese woman in Japan to have the highest rate of breast cancer.
Blacks are better off with only black doctors? Sounds like an argument for segregation
Maybe you run into trouble when your first stop is Planned Parenthood. Her primary doctor caught it you morons. Was her primary doctor a white male? That's what I want to know. Maybe we should stop caring about skin color and more about qualifications and experience?
This is pandering to the blacks as usual
One of the inhibitors for the black community to seek health care is because not many doctors look like them? LMAO! So the black community is full of racists who only want black doctors...
Lol, it's like this author, like many others, is pretending to be blind about genetics and holding a tin cup while begging for change.
Is it because of POTUS DJT or poor life choices?
Blame God? Or blame the racist cancer cells?
I'm tired of hearing about black people I don't know about you.
Because cancer is racist, clearly. Right NBC? Oh, wait, because cancer is white supremacist. Right? Somehow I know this is the white man's fault, I just know it
