From the criminal justice system to race relations and beyond, the death of
football legend-turned-acquitted murderer O.J. Simpson has placed a spotlight on
a number of issues.

But perhaps none of them are as immediately urgent to Black people as Simpson’s
cause of death — prostate cancer, which is a disproportionate killer,
particularly of Black men.

The man born as Orenthal James Simpson died at 76 on Wednesday, his family
confirmed fewer than two months after it was revealed he was undergoing
chemotherapy for the curable illness.



But it was unclear how far advanced Simpson’s prostate cancer was when it was
first detected, a key factor in being able to successfully treat the disease.

Black men are 70% more likely to develop prostate cancer in their lifetime and
twice as likely to die from the disease, according to The Memorial Sloan
Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center. Delays between screening, diagnosis and treatment
often contribute to the huge health disparity.

“The higher risk may be related to social and environmental issues involving
nutrition, access to health care, and exposure to environmental pollutants,”
Vincent Laudone, MSK’s Chief of Surgery at the Josie Robertson Surgery
Center says. “Disparities in outcomes also can be affected by differences in
when the cancer is diagnosed and how the men are treated after diagnosis.”

Many Black men may refrain from undergoing prostate cancer screening due to a
combination of factors, including fear and mistrust of the healthcare system,
lack of insurance, and insufficient knowledge about prostate treatment and
screening, according to the American Cancer Association. The screening process
can be daunting and uncomfortable for some patients if they are selected to
undergo a Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) which is when a healthcare provider
examines the rectum to check for abnormal growth and inflammation, but
screenings and early prevention can save lives.

In recent months, U.S. Department of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emerged as
an example of what can happen when prostate cancer gets detected early. Despite
a small controversy over how he kept his cancer diagnosis private, Austin, 70,
urged Americans and particularly Black people to take steps to ensure their
health. He also said that he had regrets for not being more vocal about his
diagnosis and pointed to data showing how many other Black and aging men face
the same health challenges.

Services hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on February 29, 2024, to
examine the circumstances of the failure to communicate his absence during his
recent hospitalization. | Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty

“I was being treated for prostate cancer. The news shook me, and I know that it
shakes so many others, especially in the Black community,” Austin said in
February. “It was a gut punch, and frankly my first instinct was to keep it
private.”

He continued: “I was diagnosed with a highly treatable form of cancer, a pretty
common one. One in eight American men will get prostate cancer, one in six Black
men will get it. And so I’m here with a clear message to other men, especially
older men: Get screened, get your regular check-ups, prostate cancer has a glass
jaw. If your doctor can spot it, they can treat it and beat it.”

Austin was one of the lucky ones, as there have already been this year a number
of high profile Black people who have died from the disease.

Scroll down and keep reading to find a growing list of notable Black people who
have not only been diagnosed with prostate cancer but have also died because of
it.

spine.
