第一篇 U.S.Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more

In a special report on cancer and blacks.the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites.and they are more likely to die of the disease.

“In describing cancer
statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care.”
The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check—ups(体格检查)earlier, when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.
“The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts,”the organization said in a statement.
