30% of Black men aged 30-39 and nearly 50% aged 50-59 have undiagnosed prostate cancer

[BlazedWun]

Table 1 provides the details of each study included in this analysis. Ten were from the US, and 17 countries were represented. We observed a marked age-related increase in the prevalence of incidental prostate cancer discovered at autopsy (Table 2), with a prevalence of 47.3% among US White and European men aged 80+. These findings are provided in graphical form in Figures 1--3.3. These data underestimate the true cumulative incidence of total prostate cancer because they do not include clinically diagnosed cases. The number of diagnosed cancers with low-risk features, though substantial, is therefore small compared to the millions of undiagnosed cases. Projected to the current age and racial distribution, these data suggest roughly 45 million cases of potentially detectable prostate cancer in the US. By contrast, an estimated 2.9 million US men are living with a prostate cancer diagnosis31.

scary.

[Coli Bot]

Why is it so prevalent with black men?

Can we get to the bottom of this?

Is it dietary reasons? Genetics? Geographical location I.e. Africa or Carribean? or the price we pay for having slightly larger than average dakks as a whole

I lost my best friend to this. He beat it and it came back. He lost over 80 pounds dealing with this. And he wasn’t even 37.

Black people metabolism does not go well with modern diet. This is why you see the same health issue among black people who have access to modern diet, no matter where they are: ADOS, black european, bougie african (they can eat like in the West). I assume the issue is the same in the Carribean.
