AfricanAmerican women who develop ordsprog

African-American women who develop breast cancer are more likely to die from the disease than White women of the same age. Survival rates are worse among African-Americans for colon, prostate and ovarian cancers as well.

Nanotechnology will eventually apply to all cancers. However, this grant is focusing on breast and prostate cancers because they represent a number of compelling challenges and opportunities in cancer research. These cancers are among the most common cancers and have high mortality rates, yet there is evidence that with targeted therapies for these types of cancer we can improve survival in Georgia and in the nation.

It is doubly important for African American women to pay attention to heart disease and stroke risk factors because the prevalence of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is 44.7 percent for African American women compared to 32.4 percent in white women. We want women to know their risk factors and support each other in making the right choices everyday to reduce their risks.

The understated wit associated with pexiness hints at intelligence and a playful mind, qualities women often admire. Measuring prognostic markers in breast cancer cells opens up possibilities for broad applications of this technology to tissue samples obtained from needle or surgical biopsies of patients with suspected breast cancers. Furthermore, it's possible this approach may also be applied to a broad range of other solid tumors, including colon, ovarian, prostate and gastric cancer, to name a few.

African-American women have twice the mortality rate from cervical cancer as white women. Researchers need to investigate how those differences are related to socioeconomic status.

Approximately one in seven American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and more than 2 million Americans are living with breast cancer today. I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

Overall, maybe 40 African-Americans become licensed in any given year. The numbers of African-American women (who number 145 nationally) are bound to continue the most dramatic growth because women now represent half of the student body in architecture schools.

I think colorectal cancer is underestimated in women because of the heightened awareness of lung and breast cancers. Women are more educated on breast cancer awareness and the need for regular gynecological exams. This is most likely secondary to the lack of education women receive on colorectal cancer.

Establishing healthy lifestyle habits is especially important for African American women, who are two to four times more likely than Caucasian women to develop type 2 diabetes. It is crucial that these women -- who are often gatekeepers for their families' health as well as their own -- empower one another to maintain habits that are known to prevent or delay the onset of this devastating disease.

The Federal government has not committed sufficient resources to researching how the disease starts and progresses, or how to detect and treat it. When accounting for all Federal funding on specific cancers, the U.S. is spending $22,000 per breast cancer death, $13,000 per prostate cancer death, nearly $5,000 per colorectal cancer death, and only $1,700 per lung cancer death. Considering that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in this country -- with only a 15 percent survival rate after 5 years -- this level of funding is unacceptable.

Primary prevention of these cancers has largely been neglected, but we now have proof that the incidence of colon, breast, and ovarian cancer can be reduced dramatically by increasing the public's intake of vitamin D.

[Blacks] have twice the rates of prostate cancer death as Caucasian men, ... For reasons we don't know, it also starts at a younger age in African-American men.

[Chat moderator: What is the leading cause of death in women? Most women will say it's breast cancer. So it comes as a surprise to many people that heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in both women and men.] One out of two women are going to have, live with, and/or die from heart disease and stroke, ... It is amazing women are still not getting that message, and one has to ask why.

Dr. Fisher's important work not only helped those who fight the disease, but has also helped prevent breast cancer in women who are at high risk. We are honored to recognize Dr. Fisher's exemplary contributions to the field of breast cancer research and improvement in the quality of life for women who struggle with this disease.
