"  Latinas who have an abnormal mammogram take 33 days longer to reach a concrete result on a breast cancer diagnosis than non-Latinas, according to a new study by researchers at the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The study showed results for Latinas would take up to 60 days as opposed to 27 for non-Latinas. Why should we be worried? This delay can have an impact on tumor size, stage at diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and survival.This is really crappy news being that cancer has become the number one killer of Latinos.  What can you do? Women over 40 should get mammograms regularly, every one to two years, and younger women should shoot for regular mammograms too. Want more from Ariel? Follow her on Twitter.
