Trends in the Adoption of MRI Associated Biopsy for Active Surveillance Within the First Year After Localized Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: A SEER-Medicare Cohort Study.
August 30, 2026 · Cancer medicine
Key takeaway
Black men were less likely to get advanced MRI-guided prostate biopsies for cancer monitoring compared to white men. This shows we might not be getting the newest care for prostate cancer, which is a shared concern. We need to understand why these differences exist to help ensure fair access to healthcare.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cancer helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
