Breast Health and Cancer Awareness: Addressing Breast Cancer Disparities from Etiology to Survivorship

Dear Colleagues,

The surge in global breast cancer incidence and mortality underscores the urgency for enhanced awareness, prevention, and treatment. Despite advancements in breast cancer research, the complex interplay of genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and socioeconomic and racial disparities further exacerbates the challenge. Understanding breast health demands not only examining risk factors and health behaviors but also social determinants and social drivers of health that contribute to breast cancer outcomes among diverse populations. The use of various research designs and methods across the breast cancer control continuum is critical for confronting breast cancer disparities and achieving optimal breast health and equitable care.
