Popis: | We tested for associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and adverse prostate cancer pathology in a population of African American (AA) men treated with radical prostatectomy (RP).We retrospectively reviewed data from 2 institutions for AA men who underwent RP between 2010 and 2015. Household incomes were estimated using census tract data, and patients were stratified into income groups relative to the study population median. Pathologic outcomes after RP were assessed, including the postsurgical Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (CAPRA-S) score and a definition of adverse pathology (stage ≥ pT3, Gleason score ≥ 4+3, or positive lymph nodes), and compared between income groups.We analyzed data of 347 AA men. Median household income was $37,954. Low-SES men had significantly higher prostate-specific antigen values (mean 10.2 vs. 7.3; P .01) and CAPRA-S scores (mean 3.4 vs. 2.5; P .01), more advanced pathologic stage (T3-T4 31.8% vs. 21.5%; P = .03), and higher rates of seminal vesicle invasion (17.3% vs. 8.2%; P .01), positive surgical margins (35.3% vs. 22.1%; P .01), and adverse pathology (41.4% vs. 30.1%; P = .03). Linear and logistic regression showed significant inverse associations of SES with CAPRA-S score (P .01) and adverse pathology (P = .03).In a population of AA men who underwent RP, we observed an independent association of low SES with advanced stage or aggressive prostate cancer. By including only patients in a single racial demographic group, we eliminated the potential confounding effect of race on the association between SES and prostate cancer risk. These findings suggest that impoverished populations might benefit from more intensive screening and early, aggressive treatment of prostatic malignancies. |
