White Brits are more likely to die within a year from brain cancer than any other ethnic group, according to new study
2021-11-10
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Study found white Brits more likely to die in a year from brain cancer than other ethnic groups

  • King's College London researchers conducted the study on 24,319 people

  • Patients from three other ethnic groups had decreased risk of death compared to white Brits
While the results of the study show an undeniable link between ethnicity and survival rates, there are other factors to consider that may play a role in such notable death rates.

Ms Wanis explained: 'It is probably too early to speculate on what may lie behind these differences, but a number of factors may be involved.

'These include how early people ask their doctors about symptoms, how early in the disease a diagnosis is made, better reporting, lifestyle and cultural factors, deprivation, tumour characteristics and behaviour, and treatment options.'

Ms Wanis is now in discussion with her colleagues about how they can investigate these factors in more detail, including how they can incorporate data from patient representatives to explore areas like the accuracy of death registration for patients in ethnic minority groups compared to others.

Their brains are more active? Hard to imagine after seeing their behavior soccer games, though.
