Description
Black women die from breast cancer at higher rates than white women, but how much of the gap comes from heart disease deaths is less clear. Kerryn Reding and co-authors separated those causes in this 2025 study of older women who had breast cancer. Heart disease is a major killer after cancer, and treatment can strain the heart.
Using data from a large women health study, the team compared deaths from breast cancer itself with deaths from heart and vessel disease across racial groups. They weighed factors such as treatment, other illnesses, and social traits. Splitting the causes matters because the fixes differ: better cancer care for one, better heart care and follow-up for the other. The paper helps clinics target the bigger driver for each group.
