A multidisciplinary panel of physicians, researchers, patient advocates and health-equity leaders responds to PHEN’s State of Black Prostate Cancer Disparity Report Card.
The panel examines progress in prostate cancer treatment alongside continuing challenges in public awareness, screening access and early detection. Panelists discuss the need for culturally responsive education, stronger community partnerships, patient empowerment and healthcare policies that address the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer among Black men.
