Abstract in brief

  • Melanoma is less common among nonHispanic black Americans compared to nonHispanic white Americans, but they tend to be diagnosed at later stages and have poorer survival rates.
  • The most common melanoma type in nonHispanic black people is acral lentiginous melanoma, and their 5-year survival rate is about 66%, which is lower than that of white populations.
  • Increased public education and awareness among healthcare providers are needed to improve early detection and outcomes for melanoma in nonHispanic black communities.]

@lapislzzulli @greengodict insiste com ela. pessoas pretas tem menos chance de ter câncer de pele mas tem uma chance de sobrevivência consideravelmente menor do que pessoas brancas. isso porque melanoma é mais difícil de identificar na pele preta e as pessoas vão no médico já tarde. https://t.co/FNkHvULMl3
