It has long been known among medical experts for a while now that Black men are at a considerably higher risk of being falling victim to prostate cancer.
As of now, Black men are 50 percent more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men and twice as likely to die from it.
The study found that Black men’s predisposition to prostate cancer likely has nothing to do with biology at all.
To take matters even further, the study found that Black men are more likely to die from other health complications like heart disease that could be prevented if not for these external influences.
“They generally get fewer PSA screenings, are more likely to be diagnosed with later stage cancer, are less likely to have health insurance, have less access to high-quality care and other disparities that can be linked to a lower overall socioeconomic status.”
