研究概览
简要总结
This study includes an interview with men who have selected "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance" for their localized prostate cancer, in lieu of active treatment (such as surgery or radiation). We hope to understand the educational and support needs of men on surveillance so that we can develop a new intervention that will improve quality of life for such men.
详细描述
Interviews are conducted over the telephone and require approximately 90 minutes to complete. Men interviewed are compensated for their participation in the study.
