Purpose: Prior studies have identified a racial disparity in incidence and survival of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) in the young African American male population. We aim to determine whether racial disparities are independent of income and urban location. Methods: The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance of Epidemiology and End Results database was queried for data on patients with SCCA for the years of 2000?2013. Cox regression was used to determine the effect of race, county median family income, rural?urban continuum, and stage of disease on overall survival. Results: The incidence rate of SCCA was significantly higher in black men |
