dc.description.abstractBoston, Massachusetts (MA), is known for its world-class health care institutions and groundbreaking therapies, including cancer. Yet the unfortunate reality is that these resources do not effectively reach all city residents. In a national study examining race-specific breast cancer mortality rates in the 50 largest US cities, Boston had the fifth highest Black-White disparity in breast cancer mortality. The most recent data from the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) found that the premature breast cancer mortality rate was 78% higher for Black than for White women (14.1 vs. 7.9 per 100,000).
