Abstract C043: Aberrant mRNA splice variants as novel prognostic biomarkers for tumor aggressiveness and treatment resistance in African American prostate cancer
Abstract:African Americans (AAs) have among the highest incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) and mortality attributable to this disease, and AA PCa disparities remains a clinical challenge. Specifically, AAs are 1.6 times more likely to develop PCa, and 2.4 times more likely to die from this disease compared to European Americans (EAs). A number of studies have shown that higher mortality and recurrence rates of PCa in AA men were observed even after adjustment for socioeconomic factors, suggesting that intrinsic biologi… Show more
