Many women know either a mother, aunt, sister, cousin or friend who has suffered from this disease. Many of whom have suffered even during the therapy. But a young Black woman, Sandra Musujusu, has developed an alternative treatment for a subtype of breast cancer commonly found in Black women. “My research is actually centered on the development of biodegradable polymers for treatment of breast cancer,” Musujusu told the Tribune. “I will be focusing on triple-negative breast cancer, which is actually the aggressive subtype of breast cancer that is common with women from African ancestry.” Mususjusu shared her alternative treatment for breast cancer with Dr. Jaime Saavedra Chanduvi, World Bank Director and his team when they visited the University, according to reports. Musujusu’s treatment uses macro molecular science and seeks to develop bio-degradable polymer material that could be used as a method of treatment for breast cancer in the future. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women around the world. In 2022, there were an estimated 20 million new cases of cancer worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In the...
