The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities along with the U.S. National Institutes of Health are funding the screening. Studies have proven the need, especially among Blacks, Luque said. For example, he said, the five-year survival rate for Blacks with colon cancer is 59 percent compared to 65 percent for Whites. The death rates for Black men are 47 percent higher than White men and it is also known that incidence rates for Black men in the United States are 24 percent higher
