Did you know that after many years, of having to refer to American studies, we now have UK evidence to confirm that men of African descent are nearly three times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer? An East London study prepared the way for a larger DH funded study. We are reliably informed that one of the UK Cancer registries have not only confirmed this, but found surprisingly that some South Asian men living in England also have a slightly increased risk. Asian men were generally thought to experience lower rates of prostate cancer in their communities, Chinese men according to the cancer registry ,still have much lower prostate cancer rates in comparison to the general white UK population
