Renal Medullary Carcinoma: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Analysis.

Introduction: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an aggressive and rare renal malignancy that predominantly affects Black patients but is also found in individuals of other ethnicities. To date, only a few hundred cases have been reported in the urologic literature. Due to this extreme rarity, the exact pathophysiology and optimal treatment have yet to be well described.

Color or money?: The impact of socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity on breast cancer mortality.

Background: Although the incidence of breast cancer is highest in White women, Black women die at a higher rate. Our aim was to compare the relative association between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status on breast cancer mortality.

Methods: We identified female breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2007 - 2011 and followed through 2016 in the SEER database.

Persistence of Disparity in Thyroid Cancer Survival After Adjustments for Socioeconomic Status and Access.

Introduction: Thyroid cancer incidence has increased substantially in the past 4 decades, estimated at 3.5% annually. Incidence is highest in white patients, yet black patients have the worst survival.

Breast Cancer in Black Women: Racial/Ethnic Disparities Affecting Survival.

Breast cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy affecting women in the United States, with >245,000 cases diagnosed annually. Breast cancer mortality rates have continued to trend down in the past three decades, yet racial/ethnic disparities persist, with the worst mortality rates seen in Black women. Of note, when compared by race, this downward trend is also trailing in Black women.

Metastatic Acral lentiginous melanoma: A case report and review.

Of the four subtypes of cutaneous melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is atypical in its presentation. ALM is a rare melanoma subtype that presents on the volar surfaces of the hand and foot. The difficulty of making an early diagnosis of ALM is highlighted by the case seen in our institution.

Emergency Department Presentation of Retinal Artery Occlusion.

Purpose: To determine how frequently patients who present to an emergency department (ED) with a retinal artery occlusion (RAO) undergo brain imaging and cardiovascular testing and are hospitalized.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Participants: Patients who presented to an ED with an RAO in the National Emergency Department Sample (NEDS), a nationally representative United States database.
