Smoking and prostate cancer in a multi‐ethnic sample

Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCa) and smoking‐related morbidity disproportionately burdens African American (AA) men. Smoking is associated with high‐grade PCa and incidence, but few studies have focused on AA men. This study aims to determine the effect of tobacco‐use on odds of PCa and of high‐grade PCa in a population of predominantly AA men.
