Description of CME Course
Although deaths from prostate cancer have dropped substantially in recent decades among all men, Black/African American men are twice as likely as White men to die of prostate cancer and continue to have the highest prostate cancer mortality among all US population groups. It is important for treating physicians to be aware of disparities in access to prostate cancer treatment affecting vulnerable populations. This online CME course is focused on identifying and assessing prostate cancer disparities and evaluating solutions to address disparities in cancer treatment and outcomes.
