Ethnicity and the tumour characteristics of invasive breast cancer in over 116,500 women in England.
Ethnic minority women are commonly reported to have more aggressive breast cancer than White women, but there is little contemporary national evidence available. ⋯ Ethnic minority women are at greater risk of breast cancers with less favourable characteristics, even after allowing for age and other potential confounders. These differences are greater in older than younger women, and in the Black rather than South Asian ethnic groups.
