Erika Hamilton: The latest breast cancer trends

Erika Hamilton shared on Linkedin:

”When it comes to breast cancer, we face both progress and challenges. The good news is that mortality rates have dropped by 40% since the 1980s. However, we are seeing a concerning rise in diagnoses among specific demographics, particularly younger women and Native American and Pacific Islander women.

Thank you Contemporary OB/GYN for sitting down with me to discuss the latest breast cancer trends.

Check out the interview here.”
