A new study conducted by the American Cancer Society indicates that "incidence rates for hormone receptor (HR+) breast cancers are considerably higher in black men than white men, in stark contrast to lower incidence rates of those cancer subtypes in black versus white women." The study is unique as it is the first report studying rates of breast cancer racially and gender. Findings indicate a 41% higher incidence for HR+/HER- breast cancers, 65% higher for HR+/HER2+, among black men.
