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

描述(申请人提供)：前列腺癌(CAP)是全球第二常见的男性癌症，在非洲、加勒比海地区、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帽子的影响，但非洲裔美国人和牙买加男性的帽子患病率是世界上最高的。为了更好地了解和有效地解决黑人男子不成比例的帽子负担问题，有必要探讨全球黑人男子中的帽子负担，原因如下：[1]黑人男子之间的祖先联系，特别是那些与跨大西洋奴隶贸易有联系的人；[2]关于加勒比、联合王国和西非西非裔黑人男子帽子负担不成比例的文献越来越多。两年一度的全球前列腺癌黑人男性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机会，齐聚一堂，解决黑人男性CAP的全球负担。第三届两年一度的会议独特地聚焦于通过社区外联、研究和教育与培训等核心要素在征服黑人男性前列腺癌方面取得进展。该议程的独特设计是为了促进所有代表之间的有效互动，教育并促进将科学立即传播给幸存者和倡导者。会议将在牙买加的蒙特哥湾举行，因为牙买加男性戴帽子的负担很大。此外，酒店的地理位置为会议和旅游提供了极佳的设施。大会将于2014年11月5日至8日举行。会议的主要东道主是佛罗里达大学和西印度群岛大学，共同赞助的有前列腺癌跨大西洋联盟(CAPTC)、非洲-加勒比癌症联盟(AC3)和非洲人后裔和前列腺癌(MADCAP)联盟。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、加勒比泌尿外科协会、牙买加癌症协会、前列腺网(注册商标)、佛罗里达中部药房理事会(CFPC)和坦桑尼亚50 Plus运动，也提供了重要的合作支持。

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.
