The Information Please Almanac's compilation of data from the American Cancer Society, U.S. National Institutes of Health, and National Cancer Institute tells us the 5 year survival rate for skin cancer is 91% for whites and 74% for blacks. I'm estimating this means the overall survival rate is approximately (.87*.91 + .13 * .74=) 89% or, conversely, a Death Rate of 11%.
