Abbreviations: CCP = cell cycle progression; IQR = interquartile range; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; Gy = gray.

Data were collected upon 81 African-Americans, 58 Whites, and 2 patients of “Other” ethnicity. We dichotomized ethnicity, to avoid statistical modeling issues resulting from data sparseness.

Maximum baseline PSA was 87.7 ng/ml.
