Can a digital guide boost genetic testing in prostate cancer survivors?
NCT ID NCT07618520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best way to help prostate cancer survivors learn about and get genetic testing for inherited cancer risks. About 500 participants will be randomly assigned to a digital guide, a printed guide, or standard care. Researchers will track who requests testing and how well each method supports informed decision-making.
