The study analyzed breast cancer patients in four different groups: non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanics in Florida, and Hispanics in Puerto Rico.
Significant disparities were found, with Puerto Rican women having the lowest employment and education levels, along with a higher incidence of advanced tumors and fewer survival rates compared to the other groups.
The research highlights the urgent need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these health disparities among Puerto Rican and non-Hispanic Black breast cancer patients.
