What to know about Black Oncology care
Black women are 40 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than white women despite similar diagnosis rates, and Black men are twice as likely to die of prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, 2024). Multiple myeloma strikes Black Americans at 2 to 3 times the rate of white Americans. Oncologists run chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted-therapy programs and coordinate with surgery and radiation. Racial concordance has been linked to higher rates of clinical trial enrollment for Black patients, which is critical because Black patients have been historically underrepresented in cancer trials.
