In Africa, breast cancer accounts for 28% of all cancers and 20% of all cancer deaths in women. Although advances in early detection and treatment have reduced breast cancer’s ability to take lives overall, it is clear that this breakthrough is yet to benefit all groups equally, especially those of African ancestry.
This is why MyAfroDNA supports research into how African genomes can impact cancer treatment, aiming for more personalized care for everyone.
