Figure 1 Black to NHW ratios for 7 GI tract cancers, both sexes, for 2014. Data are derived from National Cancer Institute.12 Note the higher incidence and mortality ratio for NHWs for esophageal cancer, and same incidence and mortality ratio for both blacks and NHWs for anal cancer. All other cancers show higher incidence and mortality ratios for blacks compared with NHWs. In some cases, the mortality ratio is more excessive than the incidence ratio for blacks, including that for stomach, colorectal, and small intestinal cancer.
