Racial variation in patient-reported outcomes following treatment for localized prostate cancer: results from the CEASAR study.
This study tested the hypothesis that treatment-related changes in urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function vary by race/ethnicity. It concluded that the effect of treatment for prostate cancer on patient-reported function did not vary dramatically by race/ethnicity. Compared to white men, African-American men experienced a somewhat more pronounced decline in urinary continence after radical prostatectomy.
