Developing and Testing a Patient-centered Tumor Genomic Pre-test Counseling Tool for Black or African-American Men With Metastatic Prostate Cancer
The overall goal of the study is to improve equitable delivery of pre-Tumor genetic testing (TGT) counseling tool for Black or African American men with metastatic prostate cancer and evaluating the tool for implementation.
∙ Stage 1:
• Age 18-years-old or older
• Identifies as Black or African American, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Mixed-race including Black or African American is included.
• Metastatic prostate cancer, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Pathology report not needed.
• Able to understand study procedures and to comply with them for the entire length of the study.
• Able to understand a written information sheet and willing to verbally consent.
• Fluent in English (reading, writing, and speaking)
∙ Stage 2:
• Age 18-years-old or older
• Identifies as Black or African-American, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Mixed-race including Black or African-American is included.
• Metastatic prostate cancer, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Pathology report not needed.
• Able to understand study procedures and to comply with them for the entire length of the study.
• Fluent in English (reading, writing, and speaking).
• Anticipated discussion of TGT within 0-90 days of enrollment, per treating oncology provider's discretion. TGT involves use of any cancer genetic sequencing (whether standard-of-care or part of a research protocol) via any one of the following:
‣ Somatic DNA testing of already-collected tissue.
⁃ Somatic DNA testing of tissue to be collected in the future via biopsy, surgery, or other procedure.
⁃ Blood-based DNA testing to evaluate for circulating tumor DNA.
• Able to understand a written informed consent document and willing to sign it.
