Recent data suggests that the causes of excess mortality are multifactorial likely include access to care, physician, facility, and patient biases and disease biology. This CME offering will address the state of knowledge regarding prostate cancer along the disease continuum. The goal of addressing such gaps in our knowledge will be to develop a prioritized agenda for research that can address the multifactorial reasons for disparate outcomes among black men with prostate cancer.
