✦ Synopsis

Data from the 1982 breast cancer survey of the American College of Surgeons were used to study the survival differences between Oriental and white women. Oriental women were significantly younger than white women. Oriental women were reported with a slightly higher percent of localized breast tumors (59.2% vs. 53.8%) and a slightly higher percent with negative nodes (60.3% vs. 56.2%) compared with whites. Oriental women in the United States have a higher 5-year survival rate compared to whites. Multivariate analyses taking into account differences in age, stage of disease, and histology did not alter the finding of a significant difference in survival experiences.
