To help to tackle di prostate cancer palava for African black people, ego better make we have improve access, give beta education and open eye tori, and stop di inequality gap, including cultural barriers. @BIOVentures @CaPTC7 @BlackinCancer

[Faruk Mohammed @elfarukpath11]

Black men dey more likely to get prostate cancer for di advanced stage, partly because say dem get genetic variants wey dey make di disease strong for dem body, plus di wahala of limited access to cancer medication, better hospitals, and better testing and treatment machines.

[Faruk Mohammed @elfarukpath11]

For Black men, prostate cancer dey happen 1.6 times more pass for White men, and e dey cause death 2.2 times higher for dem. For we Africa black men, di mortality-to-incidence ratio na 0.55, & for Asia and Europe, e be 0.32 and 0.17. The gap is plenty ba?

[Faruk Mohammed @elfarukpath11]

Improving access, education, and collaboration is crucial to address these challenges and better cancer overall survival rates from prostate cancer among Black men globally.

Black men face a higher incidence & mortality rate of prostate cancer due to in part disease-associated genetic variants, limited access to healthcare infrastructure, medicine, and technologies, and cultural barriers... @BIOVentures @CaPTC7
