FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH QUALITY OF LIFE IN MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
Researchers at Hunter College are conducting a study to better understand how various factors, such as coping strategies and the workings of the immune system, may be related to quality of life and mental health in the year following treatment for prostate cancer. The results of this study may help to allow us to design services that will be helpful for men with prostate cancer.
All men diagnosed with prostate cancer who are scheduled for surgery or to begin radiation therapy may be eligible to participate. If you decide to participate, your participation in the research may include an initial visit with a member of the research team, where you will be asked to complete an interview, questionnaires, and to provide a sample of blood. The session could take up to 2 hours. You would be asked to complete a series of 7 follow-up visits in the 1-year after you complete your surgery or radiation treatment. Two of these sessions would be scheduled in-person and would include completing questionnaires, interviews, and providing a sample of blood. The other 5 sessions can be done by telephone and also involve completing questionnaires and interview questions. These will take approximately 1 hour. You would receive $100 for each of the 3 in-person sessions and $30 for the 5 telephone sessions – for a total of up to $450.
