Summary
The BALANCE study is a research project that asks Black and mixed-ancestry men with prostate cancer about their quality of life after treatment. Researchers want to learn how different treatments affect physical health, mental health, and daily life in these communities. By collecting this information through questionnaires, the study aims to uncover disparities and help tailor better support for patients.
