A new study has been published in the "British Journal of Urology International" that compares the survival rates of prostate cancer patients from Aboriginal backgrounds with those for the non-indigenous population in Australia. The former are close to 50% more likely to die of the disease, to a large extent because some 20% of this group do not have access to early treatment. The mortality rate for Aborigines with prostate cancer is 17.5%, as opposed to 11.4% for other men
