ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the quality of life and health status of men with prostate cancer who have had a prostate biopsy and/or surgery called radical prostatectomy, which is a procedure to remove the prostate gland. The goal is to better understand how these procedures affect patients over time. The study is currently looking for male participants between the ages of 65 and 74 who have been diagnosed with a suspicious prostate condition and have undergone one of these procedures.

To join the study, participants must be adults over 18 who are able to read and sign a consent form. Unfortunately, those under 18, or with certain mental or physical disabilities that might make it hard to follow the study’s requirements, cannot participate. If you take part in this study, you can expect to share information about your experiences and health after your treatment, which will help researchers learn more about prostate cancer and improve care for future patients.
