You are giving an educational event to a local men's group about prostate cancer. What nationality should you be sure to tell the attendees of this event should receive information regarding the predisposition of prostate cancer?
A) Native Americans
B) Euro-Americans
C) African Americans
D) Asian Americans
Ans: C
Feedback: Prostate cancer is common in the United States and northwestern Europe but is rare in Asia, Africa, Central America, and South America. The worldwide incidence of prostate cancer is highest in African-American men, and they are more likely to die of prostate cancer than men in any other racial or ethnic group. Possible factors that may explain the increased mortality rate in African-American men include their lower level of engagement in the health care system, disparities in health care, and cultural and structural constraints. The African-American Hereditary Prostate Cancer Study examined characteristics of African-American men with hereditary prostate cancer. Its findings suggest a strong genetic link that increases the risk of early dissemination of the disease.
