" African-American women are diagnosed with more advanced breast cancer than Caucasians, according to a new, single hospital study. Published in the journal Cancer, the study analyzed demographic and breast cancer data from a single institution's registry, and confirmed that African-Americans are more likely to present with later stage and higher grade tumors compared to Caucasians. In addition, tumors from African-American contain more poor prognostic molecular characteristics than Caucasians" "While Caucasians have the highest incidence of breast cancer, mortality among that group is among the lowest. African-Americans, conversely, have one of the lowest incidence rates, but the highest mortality rate among women with breast cancer."
