METHODS: Patients who were diagnosed Eastern North Carolina treated at Leo Jenkins Cancer Center between 2001 2010 included study. A Cox regression model used patients. RESULTS: total 2,351 (717 1,634 white) during period. Independent age sex, observed die sooner counterparts (hazard ratio = 1.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.3; P .0070). However, difference not statistically significant after controlling for stratifying LIMITATIONS: Residual confounding misclassification some variables could biased estimated effects. CONCLUSION: racial disparity is no longer apparent health type accounted for.
