Stage One Breast Cancer Is More Aggressive Among Africans Than in Western Countries - Usman

Patients in Western countries often respond better to breast cancer treatment than many patients in Africa. One reason is the higher prevalence of triple-negative breast cancer, a more aggressive subtype of the disease. Because it lacks the receptors that many standard breast cancer treatments target, there are fewer targeted treatment options available, making it more challenging to treat.
