Race, socioeconomic status, and breast carcinoma in the U.S.

Whether African‐American women have biologically more aggressive breast carcinoma compared with white women and whether race acts as a significant independent prognostic factor for survival have not been determined. Alternatively, race merely may be a surrogate for socioeconomic status (SES).
