3、復(fù)述新聞。
New researches out on breast cancer and specifically on how African American women _1_. It says black women _2_ to be more likely than had been thought to have genetic flaws that increase their risk for breast cancer. The new data was released today during a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.NPR's Rob Stein has details.
有關(guān)乳腺癌的新研究揭示了非洲裔美國女性是如何患上乳腺癌的。研究表明，研究表明，黑人女性更容易因基因缺陷而增加患乳腺癌的機率。今天，美國臨床腫瘤學(xué)會在芝加哥的會議上發(fā)表了新數(shù)據(jù)。NPR新聞的羅布·斯坦將帶來詳細報道。
Researchers analyse the gene of more than 200 breast cancer patients in Chicago. They found that 1/5 of the women had genetic flaws linked to breast cancer including the well known BRCA 1 and 2 genes. The defects were especially common among those who had aggressive form of breast cancer known as triple negative breast cancer. The findings could help find why black women tend to be more likely to get breast cancer when they _3_ and it could help explain why they tend to _4_ likely to survive after being diagnosed. Scientists say the findings suggest black women should be encouraged more to undergo screening for breast cancer genes. Rob Stein NPR News.
