Association of Low Socioeconomic Status With Adverse Prostate Cancer Pathology Among African American Men Who Underwent Radical Prostatectomy
Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed data from 2 institutions for African American men who underwent radical pros-tatectomy (RP) and tested for associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and adverse prostate cancer pathology after RP. Men of low SES had significantly higher prostate-specific antigen values and postsurgical Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (CAPRA-S) scores, more advanced pathologic stage, higher rates of seminal vesicle invasion, positive surgical margins, and adverse pathology. These findings suggest that impoverished populations might benefit from more intensive screening and early, aggressive treatment of prostatic malignancies.
Background: 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). Patients and Methods: 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 4þ3, or positive lymph nodes), and compared between income groups. Results: 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 ¼ .03), and higher rates of seminal vesicle invasion (17.3% vs. 8.2%; P <
