Abstract
The NCI 1989–1993 data on deaths from breast cancer showed that age-adjusted mortality fell 6% for white women, while age-adjusted mortality rose 1% for African-American women1. Minority women present later in the course of the disease for diagnosis and treatment. Thus there is a real need to increase access of minority, elderly, low income, rural and other under-served populations to high-quality breast care and clinical trials.
