Survey reveals systemic barriers to quality care in Black women with triple-negative breast cancer, highlighting the need for targeted care coordination and equity interventions.

Key Points

Substantial systemic barriers impede timely diagnosis, biomarker testing, and supportive care services for Black women facing triple-negative breast cancer across community programs.
Insurance-related barriers hindered care in 34% of practice settings, while only 52% of surveyed cancer providers expressed high confidence in delivering fertility counseling.
Survey of 84 multidisciplinary care team members highlights critical gaps in care coordination, calling for expanded clinical trial enrollment and enhanced supportive services.
