Breast cancer survival is three years shorter for black women compared with white women, mostly because their cancer is often more advanced when they first seek medical care, new research shows. Cancer researchers have known for two decades that black women with breast cancer tend to fare worse than white women. The findings, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggest that while a significant number of black women still get inferior cancer care, the larger problem appears to be that black women get less health care over all, and that screening and early detection campaigns may have failed to reach black communities. "We are getting there too late. That's why we are seeing these differences in survival," said Dr. Jeffrey H. Silber, the director of the Center for Outcomes Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
