Racial disparities in patient survival and tumor mutation burden, and the association between tumor mutation burden and cancer incidence rate.

Abstract excerpt

The causes underlying racial disparities in cancer are multifactorial. In addition to socioeconomic issues, biological factors may contribute to these inequities, especially in disease incidence and patient survival. To date, there have been few studies that relate the disparities in these aspects to genetic aberrations. In this work, we studied the impacts of race on the patient survival and tumor mutation...
