June 30, 2026 · The Prostate
Key takeaway
Black prostate cancer patients were more likely to get genetic testing referrals. This is good news, as it helps us understand our cancer risks and treatment options better.
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.
