As of 2018, the age-standardized mortality rate for breast cancer was highest among colored females with 21.83 deaths per 100,000 population. White females followed with 19.34 deaths per 100,000 population in the same year. Since 2008, the mortality rate for colored females increased faster than the rate of white females, however the prevalence rate of cancer in colored females was much lower than the rate of white females. This might be due to not having access to proper cancer treatment or late diagnosis.
