Wayne State University has been awarded a $684,000 grant from the Department of Defense to research why black men have a much higher risk of developing prostate cancer than white men. Dr. Cathryn Bock, associate professor of oncology at Wayne State University and one of the researchers for this project, said, "Identifying risk factors and survivorship factors in a higher risk group such as African American allows for greater impact on the disease overall when these factors are addressed through interventions including screening and treatment." http://www.educationviews.org/university-funding-racial-disparities-prostate-cancer/
