简要总结
The purpose of this study is to help doctors and patients make better decisions about prostate cancer treatment. This research is being done because we do not know how patient preferences for health states related to prostate cancer affect the final treatment decision.
详细描述
The goal of this project is to incorporate patients' preferences into a previously developed prostate cancer treatment decision-model and to understand the implications for doing so for cost-effectiveness analysis. To do this, it is first necessary to obtain patient utility scores (i.e., patient preference weights). To do this we will perform a survey of patients visiting the urology clinic to undergo prostate biopsies to validate a method of utility assessment, and understand the patients' individual evaluations of treatment-related health studies. We will also ask patients questions relating to their anxiety levels concerning the possible diagnosis of prostate cancer.

结局指标
主要结局
Utility scores for treatment outcomes
时间窗: 90 days after enrollment
Patient utility scores (i.e. patient preference weights) are calculated using survery data will determine which prostate cancer treatment would be most cost-effective for each subject. Patients will be contacted by phone and patient records will be reviewed 90 days after the survey has been completed to determine whether this data reflects actual treatment decisions.
次要结局
- Anxiety levels(90 days after enrollment)
