The purpose of this study is to examine thinking abilities and emotions in survivors of prostate cancer.
We are seeking men for two separate parts of this study:
1) Control Group: Survivors of prostate cancer who are 6 months post primary treatment.
2) Treatment Group: Men with prostate cancer who are about to start hormone treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Note: For the treatment group, participants must be enrolled in this study BEFORE starting ADT.
This is an outpatient study at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) or Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VA) in Seattle. Participants will complete approximately 6 visits. Each visit will last about 2-3 hours and will include a blood draw.
Participants in the Treatment Group will receive either a testosterone gel or a placebo gel, to be used for one month following treatment with ADT. (The placebo gel is an inactive substance.) Participants will receive the gel and instructions in how to use it at the SCCA.
Compensation
1) Control Group (Survivors of prostate cancer who are 6 months post primary treatment): Compensation up to $150 upon completion of the study (check sent by mail).
2) Treatment Group (Men with prostate cancer who have not yet started treatment with androgen deprivation therapy [ADT]): Compensation up to $300 upon completion of the study (check sent by mail).
