Phase N/A

Powered by AI

Overview

The purpose of this study is to learn how people with BRCA1/2 mutations respond to genetic risk modifier testing. The researchers will learn more about how people make choices about their health care, including about methods to screen for prostate cancer. Researchers are also doing this study to learn about how the genetic risk modifier test affects people's thoughts and feelings.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documentation of Disease
    • Patients must not have prostate cancer
  • Age between 40 - 70;
  • Assigned male sex at birth
  • Completed full sequence or targeted genetic testing with a result confirmed in a clinically approved laboratory showing a BRCA1/2 likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant identified
  • English-fluent; the surveys were designed and validated in English and are not currently available in other languages. Translation of questionnaires into other languages would require reestablishing the reliability and validity of these measures. Therefore, participants must be able to communicate in English to complete the surveys.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Major psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment that in the judgment of the study investigators or study staff would preclude study participation.
  • Any patients who are unable to comply with the study procedures as determined by the study investigators or study staff.
  • Under active treatment for a malignancy. (Patients are eligible if they have a prior history of malignancy other than prostate cancer, as long as they are not currently undergoing active treatment for the malignancy)
