[Agency] NIH [Project Title] PROSTATE CANCER NURSE-NAVIGATOR TREATMENT DECISION SUPPORT [Institution] PALO ALTO MEDICAL FOUNDATION RES INST [Amount] $193,311 [Summary] Treatment decisions for prostate cancer, the second most frequent cause of cancer deaths for men, should take into account the man's personal values and preferences, since treatment options may offer similar mortality benefits but have very different, significant, long-term side effects. We propose to pilot test an education and decision support program to find out if it facilitates more informed and satisfying choices, leading to reduced uncertainty, anxiety, and regrets about treatment decisions and improved patient quality of life.
