CANCER

Cancer Incidence and Survival By Major Ethnic Group, England, 2002-2006 (25th June 2009)
The National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) and Cancer Research UK has today (Thursday) published the first report on cancer incidence and ethnicity. According to the report, black people were nearly twice as likely as white people to get stomach cancer. And black men were up to three times more likely than white men to get prostate cancer.
The report will help to shape policy on targeting relevant public health messages to the ethnic communities around the signs and symptoms of cancer.
