For continuous and binary categorical variables with a statistically significant difference on race, the results of multiple comparisons between race were summarized as White versus Hispanic (W/H) or/and White versus Black (W/B) or/and Hispanic versus Black (H/B) with p values < 0.05. For age at diagnosis, the differences were W/H and W/B. For tumor size at diagnosis, the difference was W/B. For gender, the difference was W/B. For tumor grade, the difference was W/H. For lymph nodes, the differences were W/H and W/B.
