Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women (excluding skin cancers) and second-leading cause of cancer-related death among women in the U.S. And while African American women are less likely to develop breast cancer, they're more likely to die from it – a lot more likely.
Dr. Lashonda Soma, a breast imager for Midwest Radiology who serves as medical director of HealthPartners Mammography and Regions Breast Health Center, shares her personal and professional experiences with disparities in breast health.
