African Americans and Prostate Cancer
In a study published by the journal of the National Cancer Institute. African American men were found to be nearly twice the risk of prostate cancer compared to white men even after an adjustment of number of known and suspected cancer risk factors. African American men have the highest rate of prostate cancer in the U.S. In addition, a Ropel Starks service showed that African American men are significantly more likely than white men to experience side effects from prostate cancer treatments including incontinence. They are also more likely than white men to be disatisfied with their doctors support. Dr. Ronald E. Wheeler will discuss diagnosis and treatments for prostate cancer in the videos below.
