Abstract
Case distributions and incidence rates by clinical stage it diagnosis were examined for 47,198 white and 4443 black female breast cancer cases diagnosed among residents of New York State from 1976–1981 and reported to the population-based New York State Cancer Registry. Proportions of cases diagnosed at “regional” and (especially) “metastatic” clinical stages were significantly higher in blacks versus whites, and incidence rates for “metastatic” cancers were slightly higher in blacks in some age groups (Cancer 58:807-815, 1986.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
