摘要：

Breast Cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide with significant global disparities, particularly disadvantaging women of African Ancestry. Though the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa are seemingly very different settings, there are many important parallels between the experience of getting diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in these two geographic regions for women of African ancestry. This commentary explores the parallels and differences and proposes an agenda to move forward to narrow the disparities gaps for some of the worlds most vulnerable women.
