Mortality is a quantification of death, often referring to deaths attributing to a specific cause such as a disease or illness. Epidemiological studies often report mortality rates which are calculated by dividing the number of deaths due to a disease by the total population.
Individuals of under-represented minority ancestry are at disproportional risk for higher incidence and mortality rates for particular cancers. The unequal burden of cancer in certain racial...
