3rd Biennial Science of Global Prostate Cancer Disparities in Black Men

描述（由申请人提供）：前列腺癌（CaP）是全球男性第二常见的癌症，也是非洲、加勒比海、欧洲和北美最常见的男性癌症。虽然所有黑人男性都不成比例地受到CaP的影响，但非洲裔美国人和牙买加男性的CaP率在世界上最高。为了更好地了解并有效地解决黑人男性中CaP的不成比例的负担，探索全球黑人男性中的CaP非常重要，原因如下：[1]黑人男性之间的祖先联系，特别是那些因跨大西洋奴隶贸易而联系在一起的黑人;和[2]越来越多的文献中的CaP不成比例的负担，在西非血统的黑人男子在加勒比地区，英国，和西非。两年一度的黑人男性全球前列腺癌差异科学会议为世界各地的CaP科学家，临床医生，倡导者和幸存者提供了一个机会，共同解决黑人男性中CaP的全球负担。第三届两年一度的会议独特地专注于通过核心要素，包括社区外展，研究和教育与培训，在征服黑人前列腺癌方面取得进展。该议程的独特设计旨在促进所有代表之间的有效互动，教育和促进立即向幸存者和倡导者传播科学。会议将在牙买加的蒙特哥湾举行，因为牙买加男性的CaP负担很重。此外，该位置为会议和旅游提供了一流的设施。会议将于2014年11月5日至8日举行。会议的主要主办方是佛罗里达大学和西印度群岛大学，由跨大西洋前列腺癌联合会、非洲-加勒比癌症联合会和非洲裔男子和前列腺癌联合会共同赞助。通过其他几个国家和国际组织，包括非洲癌症研究和培训组织、加勒比泌尿学协会、牙买加癌症协会、前列腺网、中央佛罗里达药房理事会和坦桑尼亚50+运动，提供了重要的协作支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prostate cancer (CaP) is the second most common cancer in men globally and the most common male cancer in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. While all Black men are disproportionately affected by CaP, African American and Jamaican men have been noted to have the highest rate of CaP in the world. To better understand and effectively address the disproportionate burden of CaP in Black men, it is important to explore CaP among Black men globally for the following reasons: [1] the ancestral link among Black men, especially those connected by the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and [2] the growing literature on the disproportionate burden of CaP among Black men of West African ancestry in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, and West Africa. The Biennial Science of Global Prostate Cancer Disparities in Black Men Conference offers the opportunity for CaP scientists, clinicians, advocates, and survivors all over the world to come together to address the global burden of CaP among Black men. The 3rd biennial conference uniquely focuses on making progress in conquering prostate cancer in Black men through CORE elements, including Community Outreach, Research, and Education & Training. The agenda has been uniquely designed to foster effective interactions among all delegates, educate, and facilitate immediate dissemination of the science to survivors and advocates. The conference will take place in Montego Bay, Jamaica because of the significant burden of CaP in Jamaican men. In addition, the location offers excellent facilities for meetings and tourism. The conference will be held November 5-8, 2014. The primary hosts for the conference are the University of Florida and the University of West Indies, with co-sponsorship by the Prostate Cancer Transatlantic Consortium (CaPTC), African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium (AC3) and Men of African Descent and Carcinoma of the Prostate (MADCaP) Consortium. There is significant collaborative support through several other national and international organizations, including the: African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), Caribbean Urological Association (CURA), Jamaica Cancer Society, Prostate Net(R), Central Florida Pharmacy Council (CFPC), and Tanzania 50 Plus campaign.
