Different types of cancer can behave very differently. For example, lung cancer and breast cancer are very different diseases. They grow at different rates and respond to different treatments. That is why people with cancer need treatment that is aimed at their own kind of cancer. Not all tumors are cancerous. Tumors that aren't cancer are called benign (be-nine).

Breast cancer incidence for African American black adolescents and young adults was more than twice that of white non-Hispanic women of similar age. This incidence trend reversed between the ages of 45 and 50 years African American black women 45 years and older had a lower incidence than white women. American Indian Alsaka Native women had the lowest incidence of breast cancer regardless of age. Mortality Survival Death rates for breast cancer rose steadily with increasing age. Mortality was much higher for African Americans blacks and to a lesser extent those of Hispanic ethnicity at all ages than for white non-Hispanic young women. Survival rates have improved over time. White non-Hispanic patients experienced greater improvements in survival rates than Hispanic and African American black patients.
