Prostate Cancer Screening Shared Decision Making and Prostate-Specific Antigen Testing in Black and Non-Black Men in Primary Care in South Carolina.
June 2, 2026 · Southern medical journal
Key takeaway
Black men who talked with their doctor about prostate cancer screening were much more likely to get tested. This matters because Black men face higher death rates from prostate cancer. Encouraging these doctor-patient talks can help more of our men get screened.
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.
