Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention, The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

The Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention focuses on precision cancer prevention and early detection. While there is great inequity in the receipt of cancer prevention and early detection,
the goal is not necessarily to achieve equal access but to get the right access to the right person at the right time. Risk-adaptive methods should be considered to achieve this goal.
Key highlight: The population that is most likely to have poor prostate cancer outcomes are African-American men. A major public health need is to develop and implement risk-adaptive
screening that will eliminate this disparity. The population in the US that is most likely to have poor prostate cancer outcomes (death) are African American men. A major public health need is to develop and implement risk-adaptive screening that will eliminate this disparity affecting African Americans.
