This study aims to assess the difference in biochemical recurrence between African American men and non-African American men with high risk prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy. METHODS This is a multi-institutional observational study comprised of 1869 men with NCCN high risk prostate cancer managed primarily by radical prostatectomy at the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. In total, 233 (12.5%) men in this cohort self-identified as AA. A Cox regression model was constructed to predict the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) while adjusting for differences in clinical covariates between African American and non-African American men. All data is presented as median[IQR]. RESULTS On univariate analysis, African American men demonstrated differences in median age (60.0 years [54.0-65.0] vs. 57.0 years [52.0-67.0]), initial prostate specific antigen (PSA) (8.8 ng/ml [5.2-21.5] vs. 7.1 ng/ml [4.9-13.4]), number of cores with Gleason score 8 or greater disease (1[0-3] vs. 2[1-4]), T stage (1[1-2] vs. 2[1-2]), and grade group (4[4-5] vs. 4[4-5]), compared to non-African American men (all p < 0.01). African American men in the cohort had median follow-up of 36.5 months [14.3-59.5] compared to 36.2 months [14.1-62.0] among non-African American men (p = 0.81). Overall, the BCR-free probability was 54.7% and 51.2% for African American men and 61.3% and 51.4% for non-African American men at 3- and 5- years, respectively. On Cox regression, African American ethnicity was associated with hazard ratio 1.31 (95% CI 1.05, 1.63, p = 0.02) in a model controlling for age, initial PSA, clinical stage, grade group, and number of biopsy cores with Gleason 8 or higher disease. CONCLUSIONS African American ethnicity was associated with a 31% increased risk of biochemical recurrence when adjusted comparisons were performed. Further research is needed to determine if these observed differences in the rate of BCR are modifiable among AA men with high risk disease. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e168 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Yaw Nyame More articles by this author Jeffrey Tosoian More articles by this author Lamont Wilkins More articles by this author Ridwan Alam More articles by this author Kasra Yousefi More articles by this author Meera Chappidi More articles by this author Chandana Reddy More articles by this author Elizabeth Humphreys More articles by this author Debasish Sundi More articles by this author Brian Chapin More articles by this author Andrew J.
