Summary
This study is developing and testing an educational tool to help men aged 65 and older with prostate cancer decide with their doctors whether to reduce the frequency of follow-up tests like biopsies. The tool is being tested with 45 participants, including patients, caregivers, and clinicians, to see if it is easy to use and helpful. The goal is to support shared decision-making for men whose cancer is unlikely to progress or who may no longer need aggressive monitoring.
