RESUMO
Little research has been reported on the experience of cancer among minority ethnic communities in the UK. As part of a wider survey in inner London we interviewed bereaved family members or close friends of 34 first-generation black Caribbeans and of 35 UK-born white patients about symptoms and symptom control in the year before death with cancer. They were drawn from population samples in which the response rates were equal at about 46%.
