Does race predict survival for women with invasive breast cancer?

Cancer Jun 25, 2019

Walsh SM, et al. - Researchers compared black and white women with breast cancer in terms of treatment and survival outcomes at a highly specialized tertiary care cancer center in this retrospective institutional database review. They excluded women with a prior history of breast cancer, stage IV cancer, or bilateral breast cancer. Similar exclusion criteria were applied to white women, who were thereafter matched to black women 1:1 by age and diagnosis year. They compared clinicopathologic and treatment variables by race. Overall, 1,332 women (666 of them black) were included. More nodal disease and tumors that were more frequently estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, or triple negative were found in black women vs white women, but the outcome was not independently predicted by the race.
