Now from Times Square, here's what you need to know.

Dr. Darren, so good to have you.

You are tracking some medical headlines.

This is really interesting study looking at the number of breast cancer cases.

Break this down for us.

So important numbers, it's a large study over 80 million women

looking at the rate of diagnosis of breast cancer from 2004 to

2021 and I just want to show you what these numbers have found specifically for black women

to pay attention to these numbers 55% higher rate in breast cancer now specifically that's metastatic

breast cancer and they saw that the highest rate of increase was between the ages of 20 and 39

now that causes alarm because that of course is between the ages of 20 and 39. Now that causes alarm

because that of course is under the age that we typically recommend for screening. But just as a

reminder, that number still represents less than 10% of total breast cancers, but just another

reminder to make sure that we get screened. Early screening leads to early diagnosis, which leads to

a better prognosis. So at what point should women start having the conversation?

I mean, it's 35 too early, is 40 too late?

So typically we always say start the conversation at the age of 40.

However, if you have a family history, if you have known genetic risk factors,

you might need to start that conversation earlier.

Another number that I think is important to talk about is that less than 70% of eligible women are up to date in their mammogram screenings. We look at this

number because this is something that we can reverse and fix. When you have an early diagnosis

of screening or excuse me, an early diagnosis of breast cancer, that can translate to more than a
