African Americans have higher #breastcancer mortality rate vs whites even w/equal insurance coverage #APerfectStorm ow.ly/10lRHw

Lack of trust in med establishment can hurt African Americans’ perception of #breastcancer treatment #APerfectStorm ow.ly/10lRZD

Thanks for reading part 4 of A Perfect Storm: Interventions – Closing the survival gap #APerfectStorm ow.ly/10lVW2 #breastcancer

The oncology medical home may help reduce the racial mortality gap in #breastcancer #APerfectStorm ow.ly/qyx8300pSE8

ACOs could help close racial mortality gap in #breastcancer survival #APerfectStorm ow.ly/nz02300pO6Q

ACOs can help improve #breastcancer care #APerfectStorm ow.ly/yxWc300pQFr

ACOs can collect extensive patient data to develop clinical protocols in #breastcancer #APerfectStorm ow.ly/s7sd300pRhp

Clinical protocols should b tailored for communities and lead to standardized #breastcancer care #APerfectStorm#ACOs ow.ly/5Okm300pRAr

Oncology medical home replaces fee for service with a performance & outcomes-based system! #APerfectStormhttp://ow.ly/dpYo300q4wZ

1 in 4 African American #breastcancer pts had mutation that upped risk for aggressive disease #APerfectStorm ow.ly/GRGA300q6Mu

Research needed to ID best tx for #breastcancer caused by inherited mutations in African Americans #APerfectStorm ow.ly/qWIL300q7l1

More data needed on genetic variants in African American #breastcancer patients to improve risk prediction #APerfectStorm #MakeAChange

To ID gene mutations only after a diagnosis of incurable #breastcancer is a failure of prevention #APerfectStorm ow.ly/QTGh300q8oy

Tumor biology/genomics and patterns of care lead to racial differences in #breastcancer mortality #APerfectStorm ow.ly/YnL9300q9pj

Collaboration between community health centers & academic institutions can improve #breastcancer care #APerfectStorm ow.ly/9Er1300q9DK

The #ACA incentivizes experimentation to provide quality #breastcancer care outside hospitals #APerfectStorm ow.ly/uvcY300q9UK
