Abstrakt: Background: The disparity in breast cancer mortality between African American women and non-Hispanic white women has been the subject of increased scrutiny.

We compared the breast cancer outcomes of underinsured African American and non-Hispanic white patients who were treated at a single institution. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
