摘要：
The highest prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world have been reported among Black African-American men (AAM) living in the United States of America. These rates are significantly higher for AAM compared to White (Caucasian) American men (CAM). However, prostate cancer is not the only malignancy which is more common in AAM compared to White American men or women. Although prostate cancer has the highest Black/White mortality ratio, it is not the only malignancy which has a higher mortality in AAM compared to CAM.
