Breast cancer is relatively rare in women under the age of 35, regardless of race or ethnicity. However, studies have shown that young black women tend to have a higher incidence of aggressive subtypes of breast cancer compared to other racial and ethnic groups.

They regularly publish reports and studies that provide detailed information on breast cancer incidence and outcomes among different populations.
