Does socioeconomic status account for racial and ethnic disparities in childhood cancer survival?

abstract：BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study is to examine changes over time in survival for African American (AA) and white women diagnosed with cervical cancer (CC). METHODS:Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program data from 1985 to 2009 were used for this analysis. Racial differences in survival were eval...
