Black men are more likely to get prostate cancer and more than twice as likely to die from the disease than other men. Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD, has developed a research team to better understand this problem. In this episode of the Breakthroughs podcast, Dr. Schaeffer talks about his latest discoveries, which are paving the way to precision medicine for aggressive prostate cancer.
