    Prostate cancer screening was revolutionized in the early 1990s with the wide spread availability and FDA approval of PSA testing. PSA however is not specific for clinically significant prostate cancer and while PSA testing improves prostate cancer specific mortality worries regarding how wide-spread screening could lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment emerged. Currently prostate cancer screening is not equated with PSA screening. Rather there is a tiered approach ideally utilizing more specific biomarkers and imaging prior to initial biopsy. Moreover, personalized screening strategies which may include genetics, family history and baseline biomarkers are emerging. This collection covers recent updates and advances in prostate cancer screening and diagnosis.

    In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal to Reduce Inequalities (SDG10), this collection aims to bring together articles enhancing our understanding of cancer health disparities across the different dimensions of inequality research. There are many expanding fields of health inequalities research but this collection will include articles examining disproportionate cancer burdens in populations such as: rural-urban, gender/sexual, racial/ethnic, religious minority and socioeconomic status groups, and of course any group where health inequality needs to be addressed. This wider collection builds upon our existing collections more specifically focused on Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer and Racial and ethnic disparities in cancer in the US We are building an ongoing knowledge base of content from across all oncology journals to increase the discoverability of articles in this important research area. Thus, we call for new contributions to this collection and invite you to read recent research below.
