Evaluation and Management for Prostate Oncology, Wellness, and Risk (EMPOWeR)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The EMPOWeR study is proposed as a cohort study with longitudinal follow-up to determine rates of genetic mutations among men with or at-risk for prostate cancer to address the various facets of genetic education and counseling for optimized genetic assessment and wellness of men. The results will inform practice guidelines and future studies for maximal impact of genetic evaluation of men for inherited prostate cancer.

EMPOWeR Study This is a cohort study, with initial patient assessments and longitudinal follow-up. Participation of subjects will be indefinite, which will be discussed in the informed consent. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Perform genetic testing for men with or at-risk for prostate cancer to determine association of mutations to patient characteristics. [6 months]
Participants will undergo gene panel testing through a saliva or blood sample. A genetic test summary will be generated to give to participants at disclosure of results. Participants will receive genetic test results in person, by phone or via telehealth. Fisher's exact test will be used to determine association of mutations and variants to patient characteristics.
