DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2005, there were an estimated 30,770 new cases of prostate cancer and more than 5,050 prostate cancer deaths in U.S. black men, thereby making prostate cancer their number one cause of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Black men have more than twice the mortality rate as whites and three times the mortality as ethnic Hispanic/Latinos. This proposal is for the development, implementation, and evaluation of a series of regional conferences under the direction of the National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer III Community Networks Program (NBLIC III). The black men's prostate cancer conferences, titled "A Black Man Can...Fight Prostate Cancer", are designed to increase the lay public's knowledge and awareness of the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer in black males in the United States (U.S.). To achieve the conference aims, we have developed a conference agenda that provides conference attendees with information and strategies aimed at addressing prostate cancer disparities in blacks. The conferences will: [1] expose attendees to the latest information related to prostate cancer risk and outcomes and its relationship to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, as well as cancer-related technologies, cancer research findings relevant to black males, social support resources, and available treatment options; [2] discuss barriers to recruiting black males into prostate cancer prevention and intervention clinical trials; [3] describe effective lifestyle behaviors that may be used to decrease prostate cancer risk, and [4] present strategies to engage the black community in building a cadre of persons who can provide cancer information and social support to prostate cancer survivors.

描述（由申请人提供）：2005年，在美国黑人男性中估计有30，770例前列腺癌新发病例和5，050多例前列腺癌死亡，从而使前列腺癌成为他们的头号癌症原因和第二大癌症死亡原因。 黑人男性的死亡率是白人的两倍多，是西班牙裔/拉丁裔的三倍。该提案旨在制定，实施和评估一系列区域会议，这些会议是在国家黑人领导人癌症倡议III社区网络计划（NBLIC III）的指导下举行的。 黑人男性前列腺癌会议，题为“一个黑人可以...抗击前列腺癌”，旨在提高普通公众对美国黑人男性前列腺癌不成比例负担的认识和认识。 为了实现会议目标，我们制定了会议议程，为与会者提供旨在解决黑人前列腺癌差异的信息和策略。这些会议将：[1]让与会者了解有关前列腺癌风险和结果及其与种族/民族和社会经济地位的关系的最新信息，以及癌症相关技术，与黑人男性相关的癌症研究结果，社会支持资源和可用的治疗方案; [2]讨论招募黑人男性参与前列腺癌预防和干预临床试验的障碍;[3]描述可用于降低前列腺癌风险的有效生活方式行为，[4]提出策略，使黑人社区参与建立一个能够为前列腺癌幸存者提供癌症信息和社会支持的骨干队伍。
