Abstract A15: Breast cancer subtype subsequent to a benign breast biopsy among African American women

Conclusions: The women with a previous benign breast biopsy in our cohort who develop a subsequent breast cancer have subtypes that are similar to the general African American population in the United States. Thus, our BBD cohort represents the full spectrum of invasive breast cancers with respect to subtype, including triple negative tumors.Citation Format: Julie J. Ruterbusch, Michele L.
