Why are we not picking this up in a high risk area such as Jamaican men?. The blogger seems to believe that low numbers affected the results. I believe that diet is significant as it relates to prostate cancer. The association of dietary patterns and risks for prostate cancer do show correlations in other studies around the world.

This level of ignorance is what is sending so many of our men with prostate cancer to an early grave. We (Jamaicans) are one of the most anti-homosexual/homophobic people in the world. Why not do the PSA/serology or blood testing then, since many of our Jamaican men do not want physicians going up their rear end. My fellow Jamaicans, wake up! You won't be considered a homosexual or "batty man" to get tested for prostate cancer. Remember that early detection is vital. Do not wait until it is too late. Regrettably, most of them wait until it is too late. http://caribbeantravelexpert.wordpress.com/ It is high time Jamaican men get over this great fear of getting a rectal examination from their doctors.
