Differential Colorectal Cancer Mortality Across Racial and Ethnic Groups: Impact of Socioeconomic Status, Clinicopathology, and Treatment-Related Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-Hispanic Black (Black) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have a higher risk of mortality than most other racial/ethnic groups.
