yes, there is some research and cancer registry data now beginning to
suggest that (on a very small base) there are higher rates of cancers among
the younger age minority ethnic population than the 'white' age-for-age
group - paper by Winter et al, I think (not got my bibliography to hand but
will search it out and circulate). I'd welcome any more evidence, data etc.

A colleague has mentioned a concern that a lot of his young british
black friends seem to be dying of cancer.
I have promised i will look around
Any evidence base for this?
