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.
The study, which was entitled “Association of Black Race With Prostate Cancer–Specific and Other-Cause Mortality,” is the largest study of its kind and its findings could be revolutionary in fighting the impact that prostate cancer has on peoples’ lives, particularly those in the Black community.
