Prostate Cancer Treatment Decisions for Black Patients

The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.

Immuno-Oncology Database

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of cancer treatment that work by over-activating the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. This type of treatment can sometimes lead to side effects that look like autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system attacks the body). We want to collects samples and clinical data from cancer patients taking ICI therapy to understand why some patients get side effects and others don't.
