Abstract

Abstract Inequalities in healthcare for patients with prostate cancer can result in treatment and mortality disparities. Despite Black men with prostate cancer having higher incidence and mortality from prostate cancer, the study by Hammarlund and colleagues found that they are less likely to receive appropriate treatment compared with their White counterparts. Given that Black men with prostate cancer have similar or better survival when participating in clinical trials or receiving equal treatment from an equal access to healthcare system, identifying factors contributing to inequitable treatment is essential to improve the overall health and survival of Black men with prostate cancer.
