Association of Black Race With Prostate Cancer–Specific and Other-Cause Mortality

Association of Black Race With Prostate Cancer–Specific and Other-Cause Mortality Key PointsQuestionIs black race associated with worse prostate cancer outcomes after controlling for known prognostic variables and access to care? FindingsIn this multiple-cohort study of 306 100 patients with prostate cancer, black race was not associated with inferior prostate cancer–specific mortality in cohorts from Veterans Affairs health system and National Cancer Institute–sponsored randomized clinical trials. Black race was associated with increased prostate cancer–specific mortality within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results US population registry, but not in the high-risk subgroup after baseline covariable adjustment, although black race remained associated with increased other-cause mortality. MeaningWith similar access to care and standardized treatment, black men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer appeared to have comparable stage-for-stage prostate cancer–specific mortality to white men. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA Oncology American Medical Association
