title: Adenocarcinoma of the prostate: a comparison of the disease in blacks versus whites.
abstract: A retrospective analysis was done on 3,298 cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostate seen between 1948 and 1975. There were 2,324 black patients (70%) and 974 white (30%). Criteria for comparison included age and stage at original diagnosis and relative survival rates between the groups. Our study showed a difference in age and stage but a similar pattern in survival between groups.
