EP41. Prostate Cancer: The Risk to The Black Community.


Listen Later

This is the first of several episodes we are dedicating to exploring prostate cancer and its risk to the Black community within the awareness month of March 2025.


In this episode, we welcome Associate Director of Black Equity at Prostate Cancer UK, Keith Morgan, to explore the risk prostate cancer poses to members of the Black community.


Keith spearheads a programme of work that is transforming the outcomes and experiences of Black men with prostate cancer. This includes driving systemic changes in research, treatment, and raising awareness to save more Black lives.


Tune in as Keith shares with Yinka the risk factors involved, what support and guidance are currently available, and what needs to change in terms of Black equity going forward.


*TRIGGER WARNING* This open conversation shares discussions on prostate cancer and associated health risks.
