A new study finds breast cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Black women.
Breast cancer now accounts for more deaths than lung cancer, according to a study by the American Cancer Society.
The study's authors say Black women are less likely to get an early diagnosis leading to poorer outcomes.
