Colorectal cancer mortality rates are significantly greater in AA than in EA individuals, and the disparity is worsening. We investigated the relationship between race and metastatic CRC (mCRC) survival in younger and older patients.Using data from the Hollings Cancer Center (Charleston, SC), we studied the role of clinical, pathologic, and treatment-related factors on the disparity in survival. We...
BACKGROUND:Although epidemiologic studies suggest that metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of colorectal cancer, its effect on cancer mortality remains controversial.
METHODS:The authors used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)‐Medicare linked database (1998‐2006) to conduct a retrospective cohort study of 36,079 patients with colon cancer to determine the independent...
Purpose African-Americans (AA) have a higher incidence of and lower survival from colorectal cancer (CRC) compared with European Americans (EA). In the present study, statewide, population-based data from South Carolina Central Cancer Registry are used to investigate the relationship between race and age on advanced-stage CRC survival. Methods The study population was comprised of 3,865 advanced...
