Prostate Cancer and You
Prostate Cancer and You is a monthly podcast presented by the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition that explores all aspects of the disease.
May 1, 2019 • 12 min
Welcome to Prostate Cancer & You, a series of podcasts sponsored by the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition. Today’s podcast features an interview with Quoc-Dien Trinh, MD, assistant professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Prostate Cancer Center. On this podcast he discusses the gap in prostate cancer survival of African American men compared to Caucasian men. His data shows that the biological differences in tumor aggressiveness among African American men may have been exaggerated, and the gap in survival is more likely to be the result of racial inequity and lack of access to quality care.
At the May 10 Prostate Cancer Symposium his session is “Racial Variations in Prostate Cancer Care: Differences or disparities.” Go here for more information and to register.

The Piketon Massacre
On the night of April 21, 2016 in rural Piketon, Ohio - eight members of the Rhoden family were viciously murdered execution style in their homes. Two years later in 2018, their neighbors, the Wagners, were arrested and charged with committing the largest massacre in Ohio’s history. Shocked by the arrests, this once close-knit and religious community remains divided and unable to cope. Was a respected and reputable Piketon family responsible for this unimaginable murder spree? Our team will examine the deep ties that connected both families. We’ll examine the evidence and possible motives for the crimes. For the first time we’ll speak with townspeople, psychological experts, respected investigators, friends and members of both families. Are the Wagners responsible for the murders, and if convicted, will they be executed? Or is it possible that there is still a murderer at large waiting to kill again?
