Racial differences in the treatment and outcomes for prostate cancer in Massachusetts
Abstract
Massachusetts is a northeastern state with universally mandated health insurance since 2006. Although Black men have generally worse prostate cancer outcomes, emerging data suggest that they may experience equivalent outcomes within a fully insured system. In this setting, the authors analyzed treatments and outcomes of non‐Hispanic White and Black men in Massachusetts.
