IOWA CITY — Black Iowans are getting and dying from cancer at higher rates than any other racial or ethnic group in the state, according to a new 2021 Cancer in Iowa Report that found “structural racism” is largely to blame for the disparities.“There is no gene or cancer type common only to Black people or white people, or any other ethnic group, that increases or decreases their risk overall of getting cancer or dying from cancer,” George Weiner, director of the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, said Wednesday during a presentation following the report’s release.
