前列腺癌过早死亡的负担在种族和民族群体中并不一致。AA比任何其他种族或族裔群体更容易患上癌症并死于癌症。(531)种族是前列腺癌和其他癌症诊断阶段的重要预测因素，种族群体中晚期癌症的发病率增加 由于预防措施有限，获得癌症信息和适当的卫生保健资源的机会少。（554-556）即使在控制前列腺癌的阶段之后，AA比EA具有更高级别、更致命的疾病。（九） 了解癌症筛查和预防知识对于激励和维持健康行为很重要。(534)目前建议从45岁开始对高危人群进行前列腺癌筛查的共同决策（SDM），包括AA和65岁之前有近亲诊断为前列腺癌的男性。（五三七）

The burden of premature prostate cancer death is not uniform across racial and ethnic groups. AAs are more likely to develop and die from cancer than any other racial or ethnic group.(531) Ethnicity is a significant predictor of the stage at which prostate and other cancers are diagnosed, with increased rates of later-stage cancers among ethnic groups due to limited prevention practices and poor access to cancer information and appropriate health care resources. (554-556) Even after for controlling for stage of prostate cancer, AAs have higher-grade, more virulent disease than EAs.(9) Having knowledge about cancer screening and prevention is important for motivating and sustaining healthy behavior.(534) Shared decision making (SDM) regarding prostate cancer screening is currently recommended,(537,557) starting at age 45 for high-risk individuals, including AAs and men with a close relative diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65.(537)
