breast neoplasm :: Article Creator Black Women Have A Higher Risk Of Death From All Types Of Breast Cancer Black women are more likely to die of breast cancer than white women even when they have tumors that should be treatable and have good survival odds, a new study suggests.

Overall, Black women were significantly more likely to die of every type of breast cancer than white women, according to results published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

multiple myeloma stages :: Article Creator Understanding Multiple Myeloma Symptoms Reflecting on the pain I experienced before my diagnosis of multiple myeloma, I realized how important it was to pay attention to the related symptoms. Ronald Chin received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma in January 2017 and has been in remission since October 2023. Catch up on all of Ronald's blogs here! Many symptoms could be early warning signs of multiple myeloma. One of the most common is persistent bone pain, usually felt in the back, ribs or hips. Along with bone pain, individuals may experience fatigue, weakness and difficulty breathing. I first noticed rib pain and sciatica in September 2016. Later that year, as I stepped onto the stage at a conference in Brazil, my body felt fragile, reminding me of the long-distance travel we had endured to get here. Even getting in and out of the car was challenging; my muscles strained from carrying he
