  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In this pilot study, the investigators will show feasibility of the NLP-based feedback system in 20 consultations of men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. The investigators will recruit from the practices of up to 10 physicians who typically see these patients. The investigators will report the top five sentences from each consultation across key content areas (cancer prognosis, life expectancy, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and irritative urinary symptoms) to both patients and physicians within 2 weeks of the consultation.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
