Abstract:

This study examined current differences in North Carolina between African-American and white women in cervical cancer incidence, stage at diagnosis, treatment, and mortality. Results suggest the need for increased preventative cervical cancer screening for African-American women, so that cancer cases can be detected at an earlier stage.
