2 Breast Cancer Subtype by Race/Ethnicity HR-/HER2- (Tri-negative) Non-Hispanic Black: 27.2 per 100,000 (24%) Non-Hispanic White: 14.4 per 100,000 (12%) NHB 17 SEER Registries, 2010 Howlader N et al., J Natl Cancer Inst

3 Black and Black Immigrants Black and African Americans refers to a person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa 1 Include peoples from different national, linguistic, ethnic, racial, cultural, social, and genetic backgrounds Black (40.9 M, 13%); non-hispanic White (61%); Hispanic or Latino (18%) (2016) 2 Black immigrants (foreign-born) About 10% of all black population (2016) 2 50% from Caribbean Islands; 36% from Africa 3 African immigrants are one of the fastest growing populations (2013) 3 1"The Black Population: 2010" (PDF), Census.gov, Sep https:// 3 3http://

5 Prevalence Rate Ratio for ER- vs ER+: Foreign-born vs. US-born (ref.) Place of birth PRR (95% CI) PRR (95% CI) US-born black 1 (Reference) 1.5 ( ) Jamaica-born black 0.88 ( ) 1.31 ( ) West Africa-born black 0.87 ( ) 1.26 ( ) East Africa-born black 0.58 ( ) 0.85 ( ) US-born white - 1 (Reference) SEER13 ( ). Adjusted for age, diagnosis year, histology, and income Is the prevalence of ER-negative breast cancer in the US higher among Africa-born 5 than US-born black women? Jemal A, Fedewa SA. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2012

6 Objectives Address heterogeneity in breast cancer subtype among black cases in the US Compare proportion in subtype defined by HR/HER2 status by birthplace Contrast the results to those in white breast cancer cases 6

7 Methods Data source: NAACCR Incidence Data - CiNA Analytic File, , for NHIAv2 Origin, Standard File, DeSantis - Breast cancer subtype in U.S. by POB, submitted Dec Registries: 47 states, Puerto Rico, and DC (96%) Years: Participants: Non-Hispanic black and white invasive breast cancer cases with birthplace and breast tumor subtype 7

10 Missing % in ER, PR, HER2 Status among Black Cases ER: Avg. 8.2% (range, 2.6% ~ 8.3%) PR: Avg. 8.4% (range, 3.2% ~ 8.5%) HER2: Avg. 15.6% (range, 8.3% ~ 15.7%) HR/HER2: Avg.15.9% (range, 8.3% ~ 16.9%) 10

20 Summary of Findings Marked heterogeneity among black breast cancer cases by birthplace (East African-born vs. blacks) HR- tumor: East Africa-born, 38% low (vs. US-born black) TNBC East Africa-born, 52% low (vs. US-born black), 29% low (vs. US-born white) Caribbean Africa-born: 11% lower (vs. US-born black) Similar frequencies patterns, <50 and 50 years 20

21 Strengths and Limitations Nationally representative, high-quality population-based cancer registry data Higher missing rates in birth country variable Small sample size particularly Eastern-Africanborn black Potential misclassifications in subtype and birthplace Frequencies vs. Rates 21

22 Conclusions and Implications Marked heterogeneity among black breast cancer cases by birthplace Consistent to population migration history and supported by findings from population genetics The aggregate black category may not be always reflective of the characteristics of the entire black breast cancer cases Studies on breast cancer among black women may consider tumor heterogeneity within black populations Studies with ancestry informative markers and highquality cancer registry data in sub-saharan Africa can substantiate our finding 22
