Are Low-Income Men Less Likely to Be Diagnosed Early? Wednesday December 24, 2008 It appears so. A recent study from UCLA showed that low-income men were more likely to have advanced prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis than more affluent men.

The full study will be published in the February 2009 issue of The Journal of Urology. Photo by Aaron Lindberg / Getty Images Comments (0)See All Posts
