Cervical Cancer Incidence and Mortality among Non-Hispanic African American and White Women, United States, 1999-2015.

CONCLUSION: NH African American women had significantly higher cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates than NH Whites. Even as incidence and mortality trends declined significantly, older NH African Americans had three times the rate of cervical cancer than NH Whites. Prevention and treatment programs need to be enhanced for African Americans as failure to do so may widen cancer disparities. PMID: 32651038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
