African American (AA) men have increased risk of prostate cancer diagnosis and mortality, but the cause remains unknown. MRI fusion improves diagnosis of localized prostate cancer, particularly in anterior lesions; however, cost and access are limited in a community practice setting. By utilizing a diverse cohort of veterans with equal access to care in a single payer system, we describe prostate cancer detection. We queried a prospectively maintained institutional review board-approved database of men undergoing prostate biopsy for untreated prostate cancer. We included all consecutive patients from October 2017 to February 2020. Statistical analysis including Kaplan-Meier Curves, Fisher's exact test, and Forest plot was performed. From 246 consecutive patients, 166 were AA and 80 were non-AA. There were similar distributions of PSA, PSAD, and number of targetable lesions between the AA and non-AA cohort ( p &gt; 0.05 for all). We found no difference in location on MRI between race groups. There was similar cancer detection, focusing on anterior lesions and rate of positive Gleason grade (≥GG1) and clinically significant (≥GG2) cancer between cohorts. In a predominant AA cohort of veterans, we found similar distribution of location for MRI-targeted lesions, along with rates of tumor detection and aggressiveness of disease. In this single payer veteran population, we did not identify specific biologic differences inherent to tumor detection between AA and non-AA patients.
