Are you on surveillance or “watchful waiting” for your

prostate cancer?

The Department of Urology at Baylor College of

Medicine and the E. DeBakey VA Medical Center

is conducting a study to understand how cancer affects

the lives of men on “watchful waiting” or surveillance

for their localized prostate cancer. The goal is to

create a new patient education program for men on

watchful waiting, so we need to understand their

concerns.

Participation in the research project will not cost

you anything and does not affect your healthcare at

MEDVAMC or any other Baylor-affiliated hospital.

The project

Men who take part in the project can expect

A short phone call to make sure they are eligible to

be in the study and to schedule the interview

An interview that will last 60 to 90 minutes. The

interview can be in person or on the phone, depending

on where a man lives.

The interview will include questions about when you

were diagnosed with prostate cancer, how you feel

about having cancer, and how having cancer has

impacted your life.
