项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the prostate cancer (CaP) incidence rates in the overall US population has declined in recent years, mortality from CaP is two to three times greater among Black men compared to White men. To date the disparate incidence of CaP in Black men in the US compared to their Caucasian counterparts is poorly understood. Of further concern is the growing literature on the burden of CaP among other Black men in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and West Africa. Although Black men may share a common genetic risk locus contributing to the higher incidence of CaP, the etiology of the variability in risk observed among Black men living in varying environments and cultures highlights the strong and evolving knowledge of the contribution of behavioral factors that may modify these biological risk factors. Our preliminary observations and that of others point to the fact that it s important for us to study the behavioral, environmental and genetic determinants of CaP among Black men using common methodologies and uniform instruments. Global collaborations among CaP scientists, clinicians and advocates are thus important to understand CaP etiology and develop interventions that will effectively address CaP disparities. In 2010, the 1st biennial conference on "The Science of Global Prostate Cancer Disparities in Black Men" was held in Jacksonville Florida, August 27 -29, 2010. Supported by the National Cancer Institute (R13 CA144439), the first conference was an overwhelming success. To continue to develop and maintain our global community of practice, the objective of this conference grant application is to bring CaP scientists, clinicians, survivors, and advocates together to share cross cutting CaP research issues and develop the next research priorities to achieve prostate health equity globally. The 2nd biennial conference will be held in The Bahamas from Nov 1 - 4, 2012. The theme for the 2012 conference is "The Global Burden of Prostate Cancer: Economic, Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes". PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The 2nd Biennial conference on "The Science of Global Prostate Cancer Disparities in Black Men" is proposed to bring CaP scientists, clinicians, survivors, and advocates together to share cross cutting CaP research issues and develop the next research priorities to achieve prostate health equity globally.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管近年来美国整体人口中前列腺癌 (CaP) 的发病率有所下降，但黑人男性的前列腺癌死亡率是白人男性的两到三倍。迄今为止，人们对美国黑人与白人男性中 CapP 发病率的差异知之甚少。更令人担忧的是，关于加勒比地区、英国和西非其他黑人男性的 CapP 负担的文献越来越多。尽管黑人男性可能有共同的遗传风险位点，导致 CaP 发病率较高，但生活在不同环境和文化的黑人男性中观察到的风险变异性的病因学凸显了对可能改变行为因素影响的强大且不断发展的认识。这些生物危险因素。我们和其他人的初步观察表明，使用共同的方法和统一的仪器来研究黑人男性中 CaP 的行为、环境和遗传决定因素非常重要。因此，Cap 科学家、临床医生和倡导者之间的全球合作对于了解 Cap 病因和制定有效解决 Cap 差异的干预措施非常重要。 2010年，第一届两年一度的会议“全球黑人男性前列腺癌差异科学”于2010年8月27日至29日在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔举行。在美国国家癌症研究所（R13 CA144439）的支持下，第一次会议引起了热烈的反响。成功。为了继续发展和维护我们的全球实践社区，本次会议拨款申请的目标是将 Cap 科学家、临床医生、幸存者和倡导者聚集在一起，分享跨领域的 Cap 研究问题，并制定下一个研究重点，以实现全球前列腺健康公平。第二届双年度会议将于2012年11月1日至4日在巴哈马举行。2012年会议的主题是“前列腺癌的全球负担：经济、临床和人文成果”。公共健康相关性：第二届两年一度的“黑人男性前列腺癌全球差异科学”会议旨在将 CaP 科学家、临床医生、幸存者和倡导者聚集在一起，分享跨领域的 CaP 研究问题，并制定下一个研究重点以实现全球前列腺健康公平。
