Shock survey reveals half of UK GPs are ‘drastically’ unaware of black men’s increased risk Black men in the UK have double the risk of developing prostate cancer compared to other men, yet only 51% of GPs in the UK are aware of their heightened risk – according to new research released today by Prostate Cancer UK. Even more worryingly, almost a third of those doctors were located in regions with large black populations.
Our national survey of over 400 GPs revealed only 7% said that they always initiated conversations about prostate cancer with black men. They were also more likely to instigate such discussions with men with a known family history of the disease, despite race being an equally dangerous risk factor. Prostate Cancer UK
