Article Synopsis
- - Prostate cancer mortality is high in Nigeria due to poor quality care and the need for early detection and effective management, prompting a study to identify barriers and facilitators affecting detection and treatment.
- - Six focus group discussions with patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers highlighted barriers such as limited knowledge, misperceptions, and issues with centralized screening, while facilitators included the role of religious institutions in promoting health-seeking behavior.
- - In terms of management, barriers included inconsistent clinical guidelines, financial constraints, and lack of patient support systems, whereas facilitators consisted of structured guidelines and support from peers and healthcare professionals to provide accurate information.
Purpose: Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common cancer in Black men (BM), and the number of Black CaP survivors is rapidly increasing. Although Black immigrants are among the fastest-growing and most heterogeneous ethnic groups in the US, limited data exist regarding their CaP experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and model the experiences of ethnically diverse Black men with CaP.

This under-enrolment has contributed to cancer disparities despite the implementation of policies to improve AA accrual. This systematic review aimed to determine (1) Why AAs are participating in CCT at lower rates compared to other ethnic/racial groups and (2) Are there any tools that have definitively improved AA participation or addressed the barriers associated with their lack of participation.
