Education and correlation with cancer survival.

An interesting data that I get from American Cancer Society , which is the risk factor of prostate cancer can be divide by 3  categories; ages, ethnicity and socioeconomic among the American. In summary, the men with ages 50 years and above and African American are more likely to get prostate cancer.


In the socioeconomic, the study of death rates vary among the years of education especially, African American men. In the range of 25- 64 years of education, American Cancer Society found that  the death rate of African American men with 12 or fewer years of education was twice from the men more that 12 years education. In the white men, the rates with 12 years and fewer with more than 12 years is 1.5 times. 


By the data, its look like longer a person have education, more change to survive for prostate cancer. What exactly its means. In my opinion, longer they have education, they have increase their awareness in preventing cancer such as their food, lifestyle with smoking and alcohol free, early cancer diagnosed  with frequently medical check up and also have more understanding how the cancer cause, and the best treatment.
