Broward County's rate of advanced breast cancer exceeds the state and national average, and researchers want to learn why. Could a chemical in the water or one sprayed on lawns play a role? Does someone's ancestry make them more vulnerable to the chemicals? Dr. Jean Latimer and her team at Nova Southeastern University will study the role environment plays in advanced breast cancer, particularly among women of African American descent. 'Nationally the levels of advanced breast cancer have dropped because of early detection,' said Latimer, director of the NSU AutoNation Institute for Breast Cancer Research and Care.
