The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is dramatically higher in African Americans (AAs) than in Native Africans (NAs) (60:100,000 vs. <1:100,000) and slightly higher than in Caucasian Americans (CAs). To explore whether the difference could be explained by interactions between diet and colonic
In South Africa, a study has been carried out on a series of African patients with lung cancer, who were admitted in 1994-1999 to King Edward VIII Hospital (2000 beds), and who lived in Durban (population includes approximately 650 000 resident Africans). In the urban context, Africans have recently
Breast cancer is a global issue. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 1.2 million people will receive a diagnosis of breast cancer each year. Breast cancer continues to be the most diagnosed cancer for all women, after skin cancer, both within the United States and worldwide.
Aggregation of all Black populations in US cancer mortality profiles masks remarkable heterogeneity by place of birth. Comparing U.S-born African Americans with African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants may highlight specific cancer prevention and control needs and clarify global cancer This study reviews the current understanding of the pattern of breast cancer among whites, African Americans, and West Africans who have never immigrated to the US to find better ways of improving the prevention, early detection, and care of breast cancer world-wide. In the United States, the
African Americans, especially men, have a higher incidence of lung cancer compared with all other racial and ethnic groups in the US. Self-reported race is frequently used in genomic research studies to capture an individual's race or ethnicity. However, it is clear from studies of Colorectal cancer in African Americans has an increased incidence and mortality relative to Whites. The mean age of CRC development in African Americans is younger than that of Whites. There is also evidence for a more proximal colonic distribution of cancers and adenomas in African Americans.
In the United States, African Americans have the highest incidence of colorectal cancer of any racial or ethnic group. Compared with whites, African Americans have a younger mean age at colorectal cancer diagnosis and a greater proportion have proximal cancers. Survival in African Americans with
Skin cancer is the most common type of malignancy in the United States. Incidence within the African American population remains relatively low, but data is limited for this racial group, making accurate determination of incidence and mortality difficult. Factors implicated as causative in the
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this review is to examine prostate cancer racial disparities specific to the African-American population.
RESULTS
African-American men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, present at an earlier age; are more likely to have locally advanced or metastatic
Although cancer remains a major public health burden for African Americans, progress is being achieved. Since 1984, the cancer mortality rate has declined two percent. Stomach and uterine cancer death rates have shown dramatic decreases in the last 30 years. Tobacco use is declining among blacks and
Lung cancer is the most preventable cancer death, yet African-Americans continue to suffer disproportionately from the disease. Lung cancer kills more African-Americans than any other cancer and most lung cancers are smoking-related. This paper will present an overview of the state of the nursing
