Differences in Prostate Cancer Genomes by Self-reported Race: Contributions of Genetic Ancestry, Modifiable Cancer Risk Factors, and Clinical Factors

Konrad H. Stopsack et al.

Summary: The study found that, even after adjusting for clinical characteristics, there were still differences in tumor genomics between races, with tumors from Black men carrying fewer PTEN mutations and more AR alterations. Therapies targeting alterations more common in racial minorities are needed.

Outcomes of Black men with prostate cancer treated with radiation therapy in the Veterans Health Administration

Summary: Black men in the United States have a higher risk of death from prostate cancer, but after receiving radiation therapy, they have lower rates of prostate cancer-specific and all-cause mortality compared to White men.

Comparative analysis of 1152 African-American and European-American men with prostate cancer identifies distinct genomic and immunological differences

Walter Rayford et al.

Summary: Racial disparities in prostate cancer were investigated in a multi-institutional retrospective analysis of African-American and European-American men who underwent radical prostatectomy. Differences were found in gene expression with African-American men showing higher expression of inflammation genes and lower expression of mismatch repair genes.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines initiate multiple prostate cancer biologic pathways of cellular proliferation, heterogeneity and metastasis in a racially diverse population and underlie the genetic/biologic mechanism of racial disparity: Update

Isaac J. Powell et al.

Summary: The study shows that pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes are more active in African American men and drive the aggressiveness and metastasis of prostate cancer. Further investigation into the biological pathways reveals how these genes impact tumor growth and spread.

Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction

David Conti et al.

Summary: The study identified 86 new genetic risk variants associated with prostate cancer, bringing the total known risk variants to 269. The top genetic risk score decile showed different odds ratios for men of European, African, and East Asian ancestries, highlighting the role of germline variation and providing a potential approach for personalized risk prediction.

Response prediction biomarkers and drug combinations of PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer

Yi-xin Chen et al.

Summary: PARP inhibitors target DNA repair and transcriptional regulation through inhibition of PARP1 or PARP2, potentially inducing synthetic lethality in BRCAness tumors. Some mCRPC patients with inactivated DNA repair genes may have vulnerability to PARP inhibitors, but not all patients are sensitive and current response prediction biomarkers are not fully accurate.

Does the High Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in African Americans Contribute to Health Disparities?

Bruce N. Ames et al.

Summary: African Americans have higher incidence and mortality rates for many health problems compared to European Americans, with a 15 to 20-fold higher prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency. Dark skin blocks UVB radiation needed for vitamin D synthesis, exacerbating deficiency at high latitudes. Supplementation may improve health outcomes for individuals with dark skin.

Trackling Diversity in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials: A Report From the Diversity Working Group of the IRONMAN Registry

Rana R. McKay et al.

Summary: Prostate cancer disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minority populations, with disparate outcomes among minority patients due to multifaceted reasons. Despite advancements in treatment, pivotal translational studies and clinical trials are still underrepresented by minority populations.
