NIH study links neighborhood environment to prostate cancer risk in men with West African genetic ancestry
A new study suggests, for men with West African genetic ancestry, living in a disadvantaged neighborhood was associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer. The researchers posit that chronic stress—such as from racial profiling, housing discrimination, and exposure to violence—may be a possible driver.
