Research Information
We search the medical journals every month for the latest research on how prostate cancer affects the African Caribbean community. Current references that we think are useful and relevant will appear. Previous references dating back to September 2003, when the Charity’s African Caribbean project was launched, can be found in the archive. If you would like to read any of the articles in full, please visit the journal publisher’s website for ordering details and costs.
Although we try to make sure that the references on this page are up-to-date and accurate, we do not accept responsibility for the content of individual articles. References are found by searching the PubMed database and a selection of the results are shown here.
