Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is race an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in an equal access medical center?
Answer: In an equal access medical care facility, no differences were evident between black and white men in the preoperative clinical factors or the pathologic features of the RP specimens. In addition, no differences were observed in the PSA recurrence rates after RP. Serum PSA, biopsy Gleason score, younger age, surgical Gleason score, and lymph node involvement were all independent predictors of biochemical recurrence. Race was not an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence.
Output (English): no
