Question about blood and cancer answer please?!


Question: Question about blood and cancer answer please?
I don t think a statistic has been made,but i have noticed that black people don t get cancer very much and when they do in 90% of cases the cancer is controlled or retreating for a while.Perhaps the blood of black people is different than white people,and for the sake of humanity we should do some testing...Could we find something in black people blood to help us all?Thank you!

Answers:

Black people actually have higher rates of cancer . You can research this at the CDC (government center for disease control)

Wow.. you are so way off there. The death rate for African Americans with cancer is staggering. There are all kinds of funds and studies to figure out if it is just diet and economics, or if there is something hereditary that causes them to have less survivability.
? In 2006, African American men were 1.3 times and 1.4 times, respectively, more likely to have new cases of lung and prostate cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white men.
? African American men were almost twice as likely to have new cases of stomach cancer as non-Hispanic white men.
? African Americans men had lower 5-year cancer survival rates for lung, colon and pancreatic cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white men.
? African American men are 2.5 times as likely to die from prostate cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white men.
? In 2006, African American women were 10% less likely to have been diagnosed with breast cancer, however, they were almost 40% more likely to die from breast cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white women.
? African American women are 2.3 times as likely to have been diagnosed with stomach cancer, and they are 2.4 times as likely to die from stomach cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white women.

First of all there are more than 200 diseases called cancer. Which one are you referring to?
Second, what does blood have to do with it?
Third, there is 40 years worth of statistics on this, as race has always been one of the factors that must be reported and because of this we know that black men are far more likely to get prostate cancer than a white man and a white man is more likely than an Asian man. We also know that black women are less likely than a white woman to get breast cancer, but when they do they are far more likely to die from the disease. The list goes on and on.
So again which cancer are you referring to?

I am a cancer registrar.



There is no difference between Black blood or blood that comes from a white person both are used in transfusions some Black people get blood from a White donor they are interchangeable



Cancer cells don't just live in the blood.
