Poorer Prognosis of African-American Patients With Mycosis Fungoides: An Analysis of the SEER Dataset, 1988 to 2008

Differences in RT utilization according to AA race were not found, however RT was less utilized for female patients. The etiology of this poorer prognosis is unclear and might be related to access to medical care, socioeconomic factors, or undetermined biological differences.
