These advances are evidenced in a nearly 40% decrease in breast cancer-related deaths in the last 30 years and more than 3.5 million women and men with a history of breast cancer in the US. Whil

While the latter number speaks to the success of therapies and early detection, it also speaks to a great failure in preventing breast cancer and breast cancer metastasis and it does not count the number of women and men who live with long-term effects of their cancer treatment or the disparity in breast cancer outcomes among African American women compared to white women.
