Racial disparity in colon cancer survival not easily explained, researchers say (w/ Video)

Racial disparity in colon cancer survival not easily explained, researchers say (w/ Video): "A new study by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers shows that body-mass index (BMI) and co-existing medical conditions (co-morbidity) do not explain the decreased survival observed among African-Americans compared to Caucasians who also have colon cancer. The study is published online Nov. 23 in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society."
