About this study
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. However, there is a wide range in prognosis determined by a host of factors. This study will evaluate the feasibility of guiding therapeutic intervention electronically facilitated symptom and disease monitoring in patients being followed on Active Surveillance. Additionally, we will develop a tissue and data resource to support discovery and hypothesis generation to evaluate germline and/or somatic alterations in relation to cancer-specific and overall outcomes..
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
