| contents | Breast Cancer is a major disease affecting women's health in the United States with incidence and prevalence dominant among younger women and the Black race. We analyzed the association between breast cancer characteristics with age and race and how survival months and age differ in racial groups. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) datasets we performed a logistic regression to examine significant predictors that affect survival month. There were 3414 whites, 291 Blacks, and 320 Others (American Indian/AK Native, Asian/Pacific Islander) in the sample. We found significant associations between racial groups and ages with significant differences in age between Blacks and Whites, and Whites and Others. Patients with a breast cancer tumor in grades 1 and 2 have higher survival months (by 1.49% and 0.49%) respectively. |
