Specialty differences in treatment recommendations for low-risk prostate cancer.
July 28, 2026 · Urologic oncology

Doctors were less likely to recommend active surveillance, a less invasive treatment, for Black men with low-risk prostate cancer. This matters because it shows healthcare biases can lead to unequal treatment for our community.

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.
