17/4/2012 Do you know or can you explain why there is such discrepancy in the incidence and mortality between both groups of women (caucasians and African-Caribbeans). Is this part of physiological differences between both groups? Is similar pattern shown in prostate cancer (men therefore)?

This video is about our annual statistics report. However, there is a lot of information about research into radial/ethnic disparities and cancer on our website. I can't add the link here, but if you go to cancer dot gov and search for "disparities" you will find lots of information.
