A Precision Medicine Study of How Inflammation May Underlie the Excessive Burden of Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry

Abstract

Objective: To explore the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of African American men that exhibit system/chronic inflammation. Impact: This study explores the relationship between systemic/chronic inflammation, ancestry, and tumor biology as a cause of disease progression in men of African descent. Creating an understanding of how the interaction between chronic inflammation and tumor biology affects prostate cancer progression in a high-risk population, like African-American men, offers the opportunity to the develop improved prevention and therapeutic strategies using anti-inflammatory drugs and immune modulators to decrease the disease burden among all men.
