ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although the incidence of breast cancer is highest in White women, Black women die at a higher rate. Our aim was to compare the relative association between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status on breast cancer mortality.METHODS:
We identified female breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2007 - 2011 and followed through 2016 in the SEER database. Patients were grouped into socioeconomic quartiles by a prosperity index. The primary outcome of interest was 5-year cancer-specific survival.RESULTS:
A total of 286,520 patients were included. Five-year survival was worst for Black women compared to other races/ethnicities in each socioeconomic quartile. When compared to White women in the lowest quartile, Black women in the lowest quartile, 2nd quartile, and 3rd quartile experienced the lowest 5-year survival rates (Hazard ratio 1.33, 1.23, 1.20; P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Regarding cancer mortality, only in the most prosperous quartile do Black women achieve a similar outcome to the poorest quartile White women.Palabras clave
