Cancer Incidence and Mortality Rates in AFrican Americans

Texas African American cancer morbidity and mortality Cancer is a major disease classification characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and abnormal cell spread. It is neither detected nor controlled, eventually leading to death. The cause of cancer can be divided into three factors: external (chemicals, tobacco smoke, radiation, virus), internal (hormones, immune status, genetics) and lifestyle (tobacco and alcohol use, protection No sunbathing, malnutrition, lack of physical activity)

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in North America and African American men have the highest prevalence and mortality rates of prostate cancer among any ethnic or ethnic group in the world. The overall incidence of prostate cancer in African-American men was 1.86 million, 24.2 in Korean American and 134.7 in Caucasian. In addition, African American men have the highest mortality rate of prostate cancer. The overall mortality rate of African Americans is 53.7. In contrast, the mortality rate of Chinese-Americans is 6, but the mortality rate of white-American Americans is 24.1. African-Americans may have prostate cancer earlier than Caucasians. Cancers may be larger and more aggressive, but timely therapy can benefit everyone regardless of race. They discovered that while 67% of African Americans had a PSA higher than the median, 56% of whites had PSAs lower than the median.

Many African American cancers have high morbidity and mortality and can be diagnosed and treated early. African-American adults with cancer have been underestimated in cancer trials and the likelihood of developing prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer is much lower than that of Caucasians. Between 2005 and 2007, about 80% of Asians, Hawaiian natives and other Pacific Islander ethnic groups had health insurance. Considering that 83.5% of Asians are subscribing to health insurance at the same time, this shows that the insurance of Hawaiian natives and other Pacific Islander insurance is 80% or less.

Again, compared to non-Hispanic whites in the United States, ethnic / ethnic groups other than white people, especially African Americans, have an imbalance in the proportion of people with various cancers in terms of morbidity and mortality It is shown to be. African Americans show the highest mortality rate in all races of lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer. Among African Americans the incidence of these cancers is still disproportionately high compared to non-Hispanic whites. Compared with Caucasians, Hispanic / Hispanic, Asian / Pacific Islander and indigenous people have high morbidity and mortality due to gastric cancer. Hawaiian natives have the highest overall breast cancer mortality among all racial / ethnic groups
