Abstract B096: Integrative multi-level analysis of social drivers of health and tumor immunity identifies HER2+-specific disparities and subtype-specific immune remodeling in Hispanic/Latina patients with breast cancer

Hispanic/Latinx (HL) women experience disproportionate breast cancer (BC) mortality and are more often diagnosed at younger ages with aggressive subtypes when compared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) women. While disparities likely result from the interaction of social and biologic factors, the contributions of socia...
