## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine whether demographic and lifestyle characteristics are associated with prostateβspecific antigen (PSA) levels and the rate of PSA increase (PSA velocity). ## METHODS Data for this study came from 3341 participants in the placebo
Numerous racial differences have been reported for carcinoma of the prostate diagnosed in African-American (AA) men when compared to whites. These differences include: (1) a higher incidence in AA compared to whites, (2) a more advanced stage at diagnosis in A4, and (3) higher mortality rates in AA
## Background: Although < 1% of men present with prostate-specific antigen (psa)-negative prostate carcinoma, in that they have serum psa levels much lower than the tumor burden would suggest, such patients represent a management dilemma. to the authors' knowledge, little information exists in the
