Abstract Although prostate cancer is the leading cause of mortality for African men, vast majority known disease associations have been detected in European study cohorts. Furthermore, most genome-wide association studies used genotyping arrays that are hindered by SNP ascertainment bias. To overcome these disparities genomic medicine, Men Descent and Carcinoma Prostate (MADCaP) Network has developed a array optimized populations. The MADCaP Array contains more than 1.5 million markers an...
Cancer of the prostate (CaP) is leading cancer among men in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). A substantial proportion these with CaP are diagnosed at late (usually incurable) stages, yet little known about etiology SSA.
The health profile of older adults places them at risk infirmity and death from COVID-19 which may induce anxiety or exacerbate pre-existing anxiety. We examined related in men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer (CaP).This study was conducted between July September 2020. Sixty participants a larger prospective, longitudinal assessing depression, quality life with localized (DAHCaP) were included. measured single time point using, the Corona Virus Anxiety Scale (CAS). In addition,...
Purpose Health research in low- and middle-income countries can generate novel scientific knowledge improve clinical care, fostering population health improvements to prevent premature death. Project management is a critical part of the success this research, applying knowledge, skills, tools, techniques accomplish required goals. Here, we describe development implementation tools support multifaceted study prostate cancer Africa, focusing on building strategic operational capacity. Methods...
Background Comorbid depression and anxiety in men with localised prostate cancer (CaP) largely go undiagnosed untreated their effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) CaP should not be underestimated. We examined the prevalence its association HRQOL about to commence treatment for differences between groups, radical prostatectomy (RP) radiation therapy (RT). Method One hundred seven participants from a longitudinal prospective observational study assessing depression, (DAHCaP), were...
PURPOSE Globally, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases and 10 deaths, with the African continent contributing approximately 1.1 over 700,000 deaths to global burden in 2020. High quality research is required understand etiology risk factors for common cancers region develop context specific strategies aimed at minimizing future Africa. Our study addresses a significant gap knowledge resources available training project management (PM) workforce METHODS We developed evaluated program...

Decisional conflict (DC) is a psychological construct that an individual experiences in making decision involves risk, loss, regret, or challenges to one's values. This study assessed DC cohort of South African men undergoing curative treatment for localised prostate cancer (LPC). The objectives were (1) examine the association between and knowledge (PCK), demographics, state anxiety, anxiety time (2) compare levels groups [prostatectomy (RP) external beam radiation (RT)].Data, comprising...
