Abstract
Considerable attention has been directed to the observation that the ageadjusted incidence of female breast cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area (114 per 100 000 persons) 1 is higher than the national incidence (109 per 100 000 persons) 2 and is approximately 50% higher than in most European countries ( 1 ) . Although breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the San Francisco Bay Area, its incidence varies substantially by racial/ethnic group (average annual age-adjusted rates per 100 000 persons, 1988-1993, of 128 for whites, 102 for blacks, 86 for Japanese, 83 for Hispanics, 76 for Filipinos, and 69 for Chinese).Keywords
