If you're doing an article, the first thing you want to do is teach young ladies how to do self breast checks. Tell the ways breast cancer can be prevented by not smoking, drinking etc. Give some statistics if you can. You can give some demographics like While Caucasians have the highest incidence of breast cancer, the mortality is lower African Americans have one of the most lowest incidence rates, but the highest mortality rate among women with breast cancer. African-American have a clinical feature of one of the most aggressive invasive disease.
One thing that you want everyone to know that early detection is the key to survival no matter what ethnic group you belong to. Oh, that study, you many want to back that up, It was a single hospital study published in the journal "Cancer"
Warn people also the importance of having regular mammogram when they reach 40 and possible earlier if they have a family history.

Anyway. Hope you have some information you were looking for. Hope this helps a little.l Good luck
