An article distributed by UPI reports that blacks say they are at less risk of getting cancer, even though they have the highest cancer incidence and mortality of all groups, according to a study conducted by UB researchers. The article quotes Heather Orom, assistant professor of health behavior. Articles on the research also appeared in The Buffalo News and on WBFO.
