News Context: "Overall the incidence of these cancers is low. As a whole, men diagnosed with prostate cancer were at a lower risk of developing a second cancer. But when researchers looked at patients who received external beam radiation therapy, they found these patients were estimated to be 70 percent more likely to be diagnosed with a rectal cancer and 40 percent more likely for bladder cancer than the general public.
Paper Context: For malignancies with higher incidence among men with prostate cancer, the risk among black prostate cancer survivors was even higher, (eg, bladder and kidney). Racial disparities in prostate cancer risk and mortality are established. The etiology of the racial disparity observed in our study is not evident and may reflect differences in genetic susceptibility or environmental exposures, treatment received, or some combination of these factors.
