BCRF researcher Dr. Lola Fayanju is uncovering factors that contribute to racial disparities in breast cancer outcomes, treatment, and more. Differences in when and how patients are treated for breast cancer account for approximately 50 percent of the racial disparities in breast cancer mortality. If not for this gap, we might drastically improve survival for people of color after a breast cancer diagnosis, which is why, with BCRF support, Dr. Fayanju's research is committed to closing this gap. Tune into BCRF’s official podcast, Investigating Breast Cancer, to learn more about Dr. Fayanju and her work. https://bit.ly/4dqngjJ
