Fig. 2 — Potential rate difference between NHB and NHW women based on the estimated percent with family history of cancer for TNBC. The age-adjusted incidence for TNBC is 19 per 100,000 and 38 per 100,000 for NHW and NHB women, respectively. 34% and 18% of NHW and NHB TNBC patients, respectively, report a family-history of BC. Assuming a conservative 100% uptake in genetic counseling and testing, this translates into an estimated incidence rate difference between NHB and NHW women with TNBC without a family history of 31 versus 13 per 100,000. Abbreviations: NHW non-Hispanic white, NHB non-Hispanic black, TNBC triple negative breast cancer, FH family history.
