Study Arms (2)
Traditional pre-test genetic counseling
ACTIVE COMPARATOR* In-person consultation with licensed genetic counselor at the Center for Cancer Genetics and Prevention before genetic testing * Participant is given a pamphlet introducing prostate cancer genes, genetic testing * Participant is sent electronic family history tool * Participant is given the "Genetic Testing Information for Decision Making" packet. After the genetic counseling session, patient is asked if they would like to proceed with genetic testing.
Pre-test video education
EXPERIMENTAL* Participant is given a pamphlet that describes the basics of prostate cancer genes, genetic testing * Participant is sent electronic family history tool * Participant is approached in clinic by research staff at a pre-planned time * The patient is given the "Genetic Testing Information for Decision Making" packet * The pre-test video education is a short video. Information will be provided about the basics of genetics and mutations, the potential benefits, risks, and limitations of genetic testing, and the possible results the participant may receive
Interventions
Participant meets with a genetic counselor at the Center for Cancer Genetics and Prevention and traditional pre-test cancer genetic counseling is provided
The video is designed to mirror the educational components of a traditional genetic counseling visit
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Metastatic prostate cancer (hormone-sensitive, de novo, or castration resistant)
- Localized prostate cancer with Gleason score ≥8
- Rising PSA after prostatectomy or radiation with PSA doubling time ≤ 6 months
- Persistent PSA after prostatectomy for PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL observed in testing at least 1 week apart
- Prostate cancer diagnosed at age ≤ 55 years
- Prostate cancer and a personal history of prior malignancy that does not include non-melanoma skin cancer or superficial bladder cancer.
- Prostate cancer diagnosis (any grade/stage) or prostate biopsy with high grade PIN or small acinar proliferation and a family history potentially indicating a germline mutation (e.g. breast cancer diagnosed at age ≤ 50, ovarian, pancreatic, uterine, colorectal, prostate cancer or sarcoma, in one or more first or second-degree relatives)
You may not qualify if:
- Previous cancer genetic testing or counseling, or prior germline multigene panel testing. Previous tumor sequencing is acceptable if no genetic counseling took place.
- Localized prostate cancer previously treated and in remission for \> 2 years unless family history potentially indicates a germline mutation.
- Active hematologic malignancy (e.g. CLL)
