About Metastatic Breast Cancer
Metastatic breast cancer also known as stage IV or advanced breast cancer, occurs when the cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body.  This usually includes the lungs, liver, bones or brain. 115 women and men die each day from metastatic breast cancer. There is no cure for metastatic breast cancer. Although there are treatments and therapies for those living with the disease the median life span remains 33 months.

Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer
The overall rate of breast cancer is similar for black and white women, although black women are 42 percent more likely to die from the disease. Other disparities for black women compared with white women include a higher rate of breast cancer before age 40, a greater likelihood of being diagnosed at a late stage and an increased risk of having triple-negative breast cancer, which tends to be more aggressive.
