项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prostate cancer (CaP) is the second most common cancer in men globally and the most common male cancer in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. While all Black men are disproportionately affected by CaP, African American and Jamaican men have been noted to have the highest rate of CaP in the world. To better understand and effectively address the disproportionate burden of CaP in Black men, it is important to explore CaP among Black men globally for the following reasons: [1] the ancestral link among Black men, especially those connected by the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and [2] the growing literature on the disproportionate burden of CaP among Black men of West African ancestry in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, and West Africa. The Biennial Science of Global Prostate Cancer Disparities in Black Men Conference offers the opportunity for CaP scientists, clinicians, advocates, and survivors all over the world to come together to address the global burden of CaP among Black men. The 3rd biennial conference uniquely focuses on making progress in conquering prostate cancer in Black men through CORE elements, including Community Outreach, Research, and Education & Training. The agenda has been uniquely designed to foster effective interactions among all delegates, educate, and facilitate immediate dissemination of the science to survivors and advocates. The conference will take place in Montego Bay, Jamaica because of the significant burden of CaP in Jamaican men. In addition, the location offers excellent facilities for meetings and tourism. The conference will be held November 5-8, 2014. The primary hosts for the conference are the University of Florida and the University of West Indies, with co-sponsorship by the Prostate Cancer Transatlantic Consortium (CaPTC), African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium (AC3) and Men of African Descent and Carcinoma of the Prostate (MADCaP) Consortium. There is significant collaborative support through several other national and international organizations, including the: African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), Caribbean Urological Association (CURA), Jamaica Cancer Society, Prostate Net(R), Central Florida Pharmacy Council (CFPC), and Tanzania 50 Plus campaign.

描述（由申请人提供）：前列腺癌 (CaP) 是全球男性中第二常见的癌症，也是非洲、加勒比地区、欧洲和北美最常见的男性癌症。虽然所有黑人男性都受到 CapP 的影响，但非洲裔美国人和牙买加男性的 CapP 发病率是世界上最高的。为了更好地理解和有效解决黑人中不成比例的 CapP 负担，有必要在全球范围内探讨黑人中的 CapP，原因如下：[1] 黑人之间的祖先联系，特别是通过跨大西洋奴隶贸易联系在一起的黑人之间的祖先联系； [2] 越来越多的文献表明加勒比地区、英国和西非的西非血统黑人男性承受着不成比例的 CapP 负担。两年一度的全球黑人前列腺癌差异科学会议为世界各地的 Cap 科学家、临床医生、倡导者和幸存者提供了聚集在一起解决全球黑人男性前列腺癌负担的机会。第三届双年度会议的独特重点是通过核心要素（包括社区外展、研究以及教育和培训）在征服黑人前列腺癌方面取得进展。该议程经过独特设计，旨在促进所有代表之间的有效互动、教育和促进向幸存者和倡导者立即传播科学。由于牙买加男性的 CapP 负担很重，会议将在牙买加蒙特哥湾举行。此外，该地点还提供一流的会议和旅游设施。会议将于2014年11月5日至8日举行。会议的主要主办方是佛罗里达大学和西印度群岛大学，并由跨大西洋前列腺癌联盟（CaPTC）、非洲-加勒比癌症联盟（ AC3) 和非洲人后裔与前列腺癌 (MADCaP) 联盟。其他几个国家和国际组织也提供了重要的合作支持，包括：非洲癌症研究和培训组织 (AORTIC)、加勒比泌尿外科协会 (CURA)、牙买加癌症协会、前列腺网 (R)、佛罗里达州中部药房委员会 ( CFPC）和坦桑尼亚 50 Plus 活动。
