The interleukin-6 gene: a susceptibility factor that may contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer mortality.

Breast cancer research and treatment - 1 Dec 2004

Berger Franklin G

Abstract excerpt

Breast cancer prognosis differs among racial and ethnic groups. Though the incidence of breast cancer is lower in African-Americans than in Caucasians, mortality is higher. While socioeconomic, psychosocial, and lifestyle issues are undoubtedly important in such disparities, genetic factors that differ among populations and that are involved in the molecular pathways regulating tumor development may also play...
