Factors associated with breast cancer racial disparities. TME is a result of complex interplay of multiple factors such as socioeconomic, life style and obesity. Socioeconomics and lifestyle may give rise to the incidence of obesity further contributing to differential TME in AA population. Altered TME fuels BC progression and significantly contributes to early onset, aggressive tumor phenotype and poor survival leading to BC racial disparity.
