According to the American Urological Association, approximately 1.8 percent of today's urologist are Black. Black men over index in terms of being diagnosed and dying of prostate cancer compared to other groups.
In fact, one in five Black men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. Unfortunately unlike with other groups, Black men will be hard pressed to locate a urologist from their community to aid in treating this silent disease.
As we wind down National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com, the longest running multicultural syndicated automotive program in North America, talks one-on-one for the first time with a urologist. Just like in the auto industry where it’s difficult to find a Black-owned new car dealership, it’s also the same in terms of locating a Black urologist.
