Genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer in men of African descent: implications for global disparities in incidence and outcomes.

The Canadian journal of urology - 1 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Disparities in prostate cancer incidence and outcomes are a hallmark of the global pattern of prostate cancer, with men of African descent suffering disproportionately from this disease. The causes of these disparities are poorly understood. METHODS: A review of the literature was undertaken to evaluate the role that genetic susceptibility may play in prostate cancer etiology and outcomes, with a...
