Delay in obtaining treatment, stage of disease at diagnosis, and five-year survival were compared for 29 Black and 156 White females treated for breast cancer at Roswell Park Memorial Institute between 1957 and 1965. No statistically significant differences were found between Black and White patients in treatment delay although a tendency for longer delay among Blacks was noted. Race had little effect on survival when delay, stage of disease, and age were controlled.
对1957年至1965年间在罗斯韦尔公园纪念研究所接受乳腺癌治疗的29名黑人女性和156名白人女性的治疗延迟情况、诊断时的疾病阶段以及五年生存率进行了比较。尽管注意到黑人患者的延迟时间有延长的趋势,但在治疗延迟方面,黑人和白人患者之间未发现统计学上的显著差异。当控制延迟、疾病阶段和年龄时,种族对生存率几乎没有影响。
