Graphs for white, black, and combined here. One thing you can see--even with the bounce up, black people are still getting more colon cancer mortality than white people. Mortality is expressed as cases per 100 000, looking at the graph, it looks like 2004 to 2014 the number for "white" increases from around 3.8 or so to around 4, so we're down to trying to explain a couple of cases per million.


The mortality rate could have something to do with lack of early diagnosis. Earlier screenings seems to be something they're pushing for, since the differences they mentioned were among those who are well under the age when they recommend starting screenings.
