Latino cancer survivors are more likely to experience poorer quality of life than White survivors. However, limited research has explored quality of life disparities between Latino and White prostate cancer survivors. Hence, we aimed to assess the health-related quality of life between a cohort of Latino and White men with prostate cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used survey data from participants in the UCLA Men\u2019s Health Study between 2001 and 2018.
