   The racial gap in cancer mortality is continuing to narrow -- so it was that the cancer death rate in blacks was 33 % higher than in whites in the mid-1990s, and the current data now indicate it's 14 % higher -- so it's still higher, but the gap is narrowing, which is really good news.

Many have never actually even had a mammogram, and we need to work on that.
