Parikh RB, Gallo JJ, Wong YN, et al. - Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer frequently suffer from depression which may contribute to poor outcomes among them, particularly among African Americans. Hence, researchers herein investigated African American and White veterans with localized prostate cancer for the incidence and management of depression and its impact on overall mortality. The Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse yielded data of 40,412 African American and non-Hispanic White men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer from 2001 to 2013. Among these veterans, 10,013 (24.5%) were diagnosed with depression after a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Per findings, prostate cancer survivors commonly suffer from depression and its association with higher mortality, particularly among African American men. They suggest the importance of patient-centered strategies to manage incident depression to reduce disparities in prostate cancer outcomes.
