Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC): What You Need to Know TNBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer that accounts for 10-15% of all cases. Unlike other types, it lacks hormone receptors and the HER2 protein, making it harder to treat with targeted therapies. Key Facts: 1?? TNBC is more common in younger women, particularly those under 40. Black women are two to three times more likely to develop TNBC than white women. 2?? 70% of breast cancers in BRCA1 mutation carriers are TNBC. TNBC grows and spreads faster, making early detection critical. 3?? New treatments, including immunotherapy, are showing promise for TNBC patients. The Challenge: Medically underserved women face significant barriers to early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Limited access to healthcare, financial constraints, and systemic disparities contribute to later-stage diagnoses and poorer outcomes. The Solution: The National Breast Center Foundation is working to remove these barriers by providing free and low-cost mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies for women in need. How You Can Help: Access to breast health services can save lives. A donation at 4pink.info/donate helps fund critical screenings and care for medically underserved women. Let’s work together to close the healthcare gap and ensure that every woman has access to life-saving breast cancer screenings.
