Racial Differences in Cancer Susceptibility and Survival: More Than the Color of the Skin?

Trends in cancer - 1 Mar 2017

Özdemir Berna C, Dotto Gian-Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological studies point to race as a determining factor in cancer susceptibility. In US registries recording cancer incidence and survival by race (distinguishing 'black versus white'), individuals of African ancestry have a globally increased risk of malignancies compared with Caucasians and Asian Americans. Differences in socioeconomic status and health-care access play a key role. However, the lesser...
