Chicago Reduces Racial Disparity in Breast Cancer Deaths
Clip: 8/2/2017 | 7m 27sVideo has Closed Captions
Chicago sees a big decrease in racial disparity in deaths from breast cancer.
For black women in Chicago, a breast cancer diagnosis in 2003 meant you were 68 percent more likely to die from the disease than a white woman. A new study shows that gap is closing. We speak with Anne Marie Murphy, executive director of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force.
