Summary

This study compares group telemedicine appointments to individual video visits for men with prostate cancer who are on active surveillance. Researchers want to see if the group format is practical and acceptable, and how it affects patient satisfaction and quality of life. The study involves 88 participants from a single cancer center.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
telemedicine shared medical appointments
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a convenient, satisfying way for men with prostate cancer on active surveillance to have follow-up care without traveling to the doctor alone.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (88 participants) at a single center, so results may not apply broadly. It does not test cancer outcomes, only satisfaction and adherence.
