Cancer is a global problem and, increasingly, cancer research is a collaborative international enterprise. Breast Cancer in Women of African Descent is an important contribution to our understanding of the global dimensions of this problem in black women around the world. Not only does it summarize key information and place it in context, it helps define many of the relevant research questions and methodological issues that must be addressed if black women are to benefit fully from the many advances that are being made against breast cancer.
