University of Texas School of Public Health at Houston researchers reviewed 11 years of data to
determine why African-American men have more advanced
Prostate Cancer at the time of diagnosis and die from prostate
cancer more often than other racial and ethnic groups of men. The study revealed that education, community poverty, and
income levels, not race, explain the difference in
Prostate Cancer diagnosis and survival rates.
Prostate Cancer is one
of the most common cancers in men of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Hopefully, this will encourage the public
health community to create
Prostate Cancer awareness and early screening campaigns aimed at reducing the disparity of
Prostate Cancer outcomes for African-American men.
