在这篇文章中，美国癌症协会估计了非洲裔美国人新发癌症病例和死亡人数，并根据国家癌症研究所、疾病控制和预防中心、以及北美中央癌症登记协会和国家卫生统计中心的死亡率数据。据估计，2013年非洲裔美国人将新增176，620例癌症病例和64，880例死亡。从2000年到2009年，非裔美国人男性的总体癌症死亡率下降速度比白人快（每年2.4%对1.7%），但女性的下降速度相似（每年1.5%对1.4%）。非裔美国男性癌症死亡率的下降是所有种族或族裔群体中最大的。自1990年以来男性和1991年以来女性癌症总死亡率的下降意味着非洲裔美国人中避免了近20万人死于癌症。在大多数癌症的每个诊断阶段，非裔美国人的五年相对生存率低于白人。这些差距在多大程度上反映了与其他因素相比获得保健的机会不平等，这仍然是一个活跃的研究领域。总体而言，在降低癌症死亡率方面已经取得了进展，尽管可以而且应该做更多的工作，通过确保公平获得癌症预防，早期发现和最先进的治疗来加速这一进展。CA Cancer J Clin 2013.

In this article, the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths for African Americans and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, survival, and screening prevalence based upon incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. It is estimated that 176,620 new cases of cancer and 64,880 deaths will occur among African Americans in 2013. From 2000 to 2009, the overall cancer death rate among males declined faster among African Americans than whites (2.4% vs 1.7% per year), but among females, the rate of decline was similar (1.5% vs 1.4% per year, respectively). The decrease in cancer death rates among African American males was the largest of any racial or ethnic group. The reduction in overall cancer death rates since 1990 in men and 1991 in women translates to the avoidance of nearly 200,000 deaths from cancer among African Americans. Five-year relative survival is lower for African Americans than whites for most cancers at each stage of diagnosis. The extent to which these disparities reflect unequal access to health care versus other factors remains an active area of research. Overall, progress in reducing cancer death rates has been made, although more can and should be done to accelerate this progress through ensuring equitable access to cancer prevention, early detection, and state-of-the-art treatments.
