PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting information about health-related quality of life
from gay men with localized prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
- To enroll 200 gay men with localized prostate cancer in a cross-sectional study of
prostate cancer outcomes.
- To complete an R01 application using pilot data collected from these patients.
- To complete manuscripts describing the factors that influence quality of life and
treatment satisfaction in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients complete a web-based survey about their disease (biopsy Gleason score, PSA
at diagnosis, and T-stage), treatment (treatment type, time since treatment, and use of
healthcare services [e.g., oral medications for erectile dysfunction]), symptom distress, and
psychosocial factors (ethnicity, health literacy, level of social support, communication with
provider, relationship status, and communication with partner) that affect their
health-related quality of life. The data will be used to provide the information necessary to
tailor an existing prostate cancer survivorship intervention to address the specific needs of
