6. Why are African American women more likely than whites to die from breast cancer?
   02-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Why are African American women 1.5 to 2.2 times more likely than white women to die from breast cancer, despite their lower incidence of the disease? The reason may not be solely reduced access to medical care, researchers suggest in the International Journal of Surgery. They propose that the excess mortality occurs partly because black women are more likely to develop breast cancer before menopause, when surgery may be more apt to stimulate cancer growth.
