Real-world analyses of major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality risk after androgen deprivation therapy initiation in black vs. white prostate cancer patients
Our analysis reveals a unique finding that MACE and all-cause mortality incidence were higher in White vs. Black patients. Black race is associated with lower MACE rates and improved survival for men undergoing ADT treatment. Whether selection bias, underlying biology or other factors are responsible for these differences remains unknown.
