Read more. | Gene Regulation May Influence Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Survival  In the United States, African American (AA) women are more likely than European American (EA) women to die from breast cancer, although EA women are more likely to get diagnosed with the disease. The survival gap is widest among women with breast cancer that is associated with receptors for hormones causing the uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Researchers found that genetic markers expressed in breast tissue could potentially be used to predict breast cancer survival based on race. Read more. | Medicaid Expansion With Adult Dental Coverage Results in Reduced Emergency Department Dental Visits  Many low-income adults do not have dental insurance and cannot afford to pay for preventive dental visits. As a result, they are more likely than people with dental insurance to end up in the emergency department for dental care. Under the Affordable Care Act, some states have chosen to expand Medicaid coverage to previously ineligible adults, but the dental coverage varies widely by state. Read more. |  Research has continued to show that African Americans are more likely than Whites to be more susceptible to certain diseases and to have different responses to medication.
