About The Study: This cohort study shows that high social adversity is associated with a high incidence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) among Black women. As subtype is intrinsic to tumor development, these findings suggest an early and critical source of downstream breast cancer survival disparities. The findings of this study suggest potential social (epi)genomic and gene-environment interactions between social adversity and TNBC development in Black women.
