Staging Accuracy of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Caucasian and African American Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

The accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in staging prostate cancer was similar in African American and Caucasian American patients and no difference was found between races in pathological outcomes after radical prostatectomy. These findings suggest that access to and use of advanced diagnostic tests may help mitigate prostate cancer racial disparities.
