ASTRO 2018: African-American's with prostate cancer respond better to radiation therapy than Caucasian men

Contrary to recent data suggesting African-Americans have a higher mortality risk from prostate cancer than Caucasian men, a new study presented Monday, Oct. 22 at the 2018 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO 2018) annual meeting suggests African-American men may have higher cure rates when treated with radiation therapy than Caucasian men.
