“…This is consistent with the findings of a US study, which reported moderate perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of prostate cancer in black males. 24 Worryingly, 37% of those who declined indicated that they would rather not know they have cancer; this, again, echoes their fears of the disease and perceived negative consequences of it being diagnosed.…”

“…23,24 The questionnaire in this study did not collect specific information to assess this, although the main reasons cited by participants for choosing or declining investigation provide useful insights in this regard. In total, 86% of those declining prostate cancer investigation were black males, around half of whom cited low risks as the main reason for their choice.…”

Biological Resource Centers (BRCs) and their associated molecular biology platforms are the keys to the development of clinical research, by enabling the utilization and sharing of dedicated collections of human biological samples. Whether in the aim of identifying biomarkers for existing diseases, or improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of emerging diseases, these collections have the ultimate goal of improving patient care. The BRC of the University Hospital of Guadeloupe calls for the implementation of a Caribbean network between BRCs and Biobank-type structures across the Caribbean, in the following areas: cancer, infectious and emerging diseases, hematological, and cardio-metabolic diseases. This Caribbean Network of Biological Resource Centers (CNBRC) aims to become a key player in proposing specific ad hoc research topics, bringing together biological materials from Caribbean populations with similar health problems. A network of this type would facilitate academic and/or industrial partnerships, promote exchange of know-how through dedicated platforms, and link research teams through communication tools. Furthermore, collaboration between plant and animal BRCs could enable preclinical studies on Caribbean flora and fauna, and their impact on human health. Sharing expertise and processes, and ensuring a reliable delivery system for quality biological samples, would be at the core of the network's functioning. Therefore, setting up a CNBRC represents a unique opportunity to expand the scale and quality of clinical research in the Caribbean in two ways, namely:-firstly, by bringing together data from populations who share geographic, environmental and genetic similarities, but which may not have sufficient sample sizes to yield the required statistical power when studied separately; -secondly, by giving local scientists the tools to develop the expertise within their own communities.

“…In addition to the above factors, Odedina et al [6] have noted some health behavioural factors like, perceived susceptibility of getting prostate cancer, perceived severity of the disease and sequelae, D DAVID PUBLISHING perceived benefits about reducing the risk of disease; perceived barriers impacting early disease detection and prevention behaviours, cues to action in activating preventive and early detection measures and perceived behavioural control as among other factors impacting on the burden of this disease among Black men.…”

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer continues to be a major public health issue and efforts to address the global prostate cancer disparities in Black males are met with many challenges, specifically in developing nations. OBJECTIVE: To show that prostate cancer is common cause of morbidity, mortality and to analyse the pattern of distribution of the disease. METHODS: This is a 4-year retrospective histopathological analysis of prostate cancer specimens diagnosed between January 2006-December 2009 in the Department of Pathology, Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, Nasarawa State. Haematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) stained histology slides were retrieved and studied. The slides were reviewed by two consultant pathologists blinded; they were in agreement over the diagnosis. The parameters studied were histological type of cancer, patient's age and the trend over a 4-year period. After histological assessment, the tumour was classified according to WHO recommendation. Histological grading and scoring of adenocarcinoma was done using Gleason System. RESULTS: Forty-One (41) cases of prostate cancer were reviewed during the period of study. The surgical procedure were prostatectomy 23 (56%) and trucut biopsy 18 (44%). The age range was between 50-89 years with a mean of 69.5 years. The peak age at diagnosis was in the eighth decade. Most of the adenocarcinoma in this analysis was incidental carcinoma as most of the patients were thought to have nodular hyperplasia, but they were found to have adenocarcinoma on histological examination. The Gleason scores range from 4 to 10. There were 7 (17%) cases of well differentiated-, 22 (53.7%) patients had moderately differentiated-, while 12 (29.3%) patients had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. No other histological types were seen. CONCLUSION: Though a lot had been done to improve the quality of care of patients with prostate cancer, there is still much to done in developing countries as most of the recent available modalities of treatment cannot be accessed due to a high cost and lack of access to health insurance.
