Streamlined Genetic Testing in Prostate Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Proactive Streamlined Genetic Education and Testing and Usual Care for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact and efficacy of a streamlined genetic education and testing intervention for men with prostate cancer. Eligible men are prostate cancer survivors who meet criteria for genetic counseling referral. After completing a baseline survey, participants (n=120) are randomized to Streamlined Genetic Testing (ST) or Usual Care (UC). Participants in ST are able to review genetic education materials and then proceed directly to genetic testing. Participants in UC will be provided with a referral for standard individual genetic counseling. Two months after randomization all participants will be contacted to complete a follow-up survey.
