Abstract

The diversity of the United Kingdom population and its health care personnel makes it unique for research into evidence-based prostate cancer screening and management strategies. Therefore, ensuring that appropriate systems and services are available to enhance treatment support for men with underlying risk factors should be a priority for health care providers. More efforts are also needed to ensure the representation of men of Black ethnic origin and underserved populations in future prostate cancer research used to inform clinical guidelines.

Keywords: Black ethnic group; United Kingdom.; cancer specialists; culturally care; diagnosis; health care disparities; patient relationship; prostate cancer; screening; treatment protocols.
