Racial Differences in Lifestyle Modification in Men with Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer
Abstract
Prostate cancer(CaP) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality, and both recurrence and morality rates are significantly higher in African Americans (AA) then Caucasian Americans (CA). Research suggests that CaP may be affected by lifestyle factors (e.g. diet, dietary supplement use and physical activity) after CaP diagnosis and the affects of these changes on CaP prognosis. Interviews and biological samples will be collected over a period of 2 years from 125AA and 125CA diagnosed with CaP. UNC-CH IRB approval was granted in February 2005. All task 1 actions in the Statement of Work have been completed, including hiring a project manager and developing a Lifestyle Changes Questionnaire, a Dietary Recall Script and study communications materials. A HIPAA compliant tracking system has been designed and is under construction. Tasks 2-15 in the Statement of Work refer to participant enrollment data collection and data analysis. The study is awaiting DoD HSRRB approval to begin enrollment and data collection.
