Increases in Cancer Rates Among Blacks

The recent increases in cancer rates among Blacks in the United States and in other countries is examined. Black males have the highest rates, but at one time had lower rates than White males. Levy's (1983) model is employed to examine direct and indirect psychological and behavioral risk factors that might explain racial differences in the initiation and progression of cancer. Differences are noted and suggestions for needed research, including a Black Studies perspective of this issue, are offered.
