DURHAM, N.C. - A study designed to enroll an equal number of Black and white men with advanced prostate cancer confirms key findings that have been evident in retrospective analyses and suggest potential new avenues for treating Black patients who disproportionately die of the disease.
Researchers at Duke Cancer Institute enrolled 50 Black and 50 white men with advanced prostate cancer to test whether there were outcome differences on treatment with the hormone therapy abiraterone acetate plus the steroid prednisone. In retrospective data reviews, the Duke researchers had previously found racial differences in PSA responses among advanced prostate cancer patients.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - With the Muddy River Marathon less than four weeks away, one Heartland resident has been busy preparing for the 26.4-mile distance.
“I think it’s great to have it right here in Cape Girardeau, so a lot of us are just excited for that point.”
Runner Carol Winter said she usually has to travel to compete in marathons, but this time she is happy to have one local.
“You almost feel like you missed something when you go to these races and the local people know the twists and turns and they know the area and it’s always fun to do that,” she said. “But it’s nice to have that kind of hometown advantage and be able to train the course.”

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Many churches in the Heartland have large crowds during Christmas time, but due to the pandemic, theyâre adjusting their services to keep people safe.
âThis yearâs Christmas service is different in some ways but exactly the same in others,â Pastor John Dehne said.
This is the first time St. Andrew Lutheran Church is streaming it online, according to Dehne.
âA significant number of not only our people but people from all over the world worshipped with us online, so while the sanctuary was less full there were still as many or more people worshipping with us collectively,â Dehne said.
