Visually Enhanced Education About Prostate Cancer (VEEP-C): A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized clinical trial studies how well visually enhanced education works in
improving prostate cancer and treatment knowledge in patients with prostate cancer that has
not spread to other places in the body. Visually enhanced education includes pictures,
drawings, and photos, may help doctors better convey information about radiation and prostate
cancer to patients.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Our goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of a visual
presentation in the context of a radiation oncologist's discussion with patient during
consultation on patient satisfaction at end of consultation visit and at end of treatment, on
anxiety at start of treatment, on decision regret following treatment, and on perception of
side effects following treatment. Of note, the attending radiation oncologist will be
responsible for reviewing the Powerpoint presentation with the patient, taking time to answer
any questions that the patient has
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized into 1 of 2 arms.
ARM A (STANDARD EDUCATION): Patients receive a standard prostate cancer radiation oncology
consultation.
ARM B (VISUAL ENHANCED EDUCATION): Patients receive a visually enhanced prostate cancer
educational Powerpoint presentation including prostate anatomy, pathologic results, surgical
options, radiation therapy, and prognosis with pictographs during radiation oncology
consultation.
