• Only 60% of AA women with early-stage BC received at least 85% of the prescribed adjuvant chemotherapy within the prescribed timeframe.
• The number of symptoms and symptom distress were related to the ability to receive timely, full-dose adjuvant chemotherapy.
• These findings provide an actionable area in which to potentially decrease cancer treatment disparities.
