I'm not quite sure what political motivations you think are behind this research but I really do not think we can afford to be dismissive of such data when it concerns us as black/African people. As I also pointed out, even before this subject was investigated, from my own professional and personal experience I too have noticed that breast cancer seems to present at an earlier age for black/African women. When breast cancer screening is offered from the age of 50 years onwards on the National Health Service and the average age at presentation is 46 years for us, we need to be concerned. At the very least, I think this topic deserves some sort of discussion or debate rather than a flippant dismissal.

One of the people involved in the research discussed the findings on BBC London on Sunday. Click 'Listen Again' for the 'Dotun Adebayo on Sunday' show on BBC London to hear it. BBC - London - London Homepage
