Summary:

This study examines colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, as well as stage at diagnosis and treatment patterns among whites and African Americans in North Carolina. The results of this study indicate that racial disparities in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates persist in North Carolina. African Americans are less likely to receive appropriate screening and less likely to engage in behaviors that reduce the risk of developing or dying from colorectal cancer.
