Establishing a Cohort of Black Men Considering Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: active

This study establishes a cohort of Black and low-income men who are considering active surveillance for their prostate cancer and evaluates what factors affect treatment choice. Active surveillance is a widely accepted prostate cancer management strategy for men with favorable risk. However, Black men choose active surveillance for their prostate cancer less frequently than White men. This study establishes a cohort of Black men with prostate cancer and examines the factors that affect whether or not these patients choose active surveillance.
