  Breast Cancer is a major disease affecting women's health in the United
States with incidence and prevalence dominant among younger women and the Black
race. We analyzed the association between breast cancer characteristics with
age and race and how survival months and age differ in racial groups. Using the
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) datasets we performed a
logistic regression to examine significant predictors that affect survival
month. There were 3414 whites, 291 Blacks, and 320 Others (American Indian/AK
Native, Asian/Pacific Islander) in the sample. We found significant
associations between racial groups and ages with significant differences in age
between Blacks and Whites, and Whites and Others. Patients with a breast cancer
tumor in grades 1 and 2 have higher survival months (by 1.49% and 0.49%)
respectively.
