Racial differences in genetic factors associated with breast cancer.

Cancer metastasis reviews - 1 Mar 2003

Ademuyiwa Foluso O, Olopade Olufunmilayo I

Abstract excerpt

Breast cancer in African Americans in the US is more aggressive and has a worse outcome than breast cancer in Caucasians. Although the incidence of breast cancer among US whites is higher than among blacks, the mortality rates for blacks are much higher. Breast cancer in blacks is also associated with a more advanced stage at presentation and pathologically aggressive tumors commonly exhibiting estrogen receptor...
