Survey for PCa patients who are on or have never been on ADT and may never have to be on it

Enter the survey here: malecare.org/april-survey/

Friend of Malecare Richard Wassersug, PhD has an interesting survey. He writes:

We are interested in understanding the beliefs and opinions of men who have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (PCa) about Alternative Forms of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), regardless of whether they have ever been on ADT. In this anonymous study, you will be presented with information and questions about various options for ADT. Your responses will be kept entirely confidential.



We want to collect data from patients who have been on one form or another of ADT, but most importantly, we seek input from PCa patients who have never been on ADT and may never have to be on it (as well as those who have been on it).

I emphasize that because we are seeing signs that guys who have not been on ADT assume that the survey is not for them. But we also want to hear from those guys, not just those previously exposed to ADT.

The study should take you about 10 minutes to complete. You will receive no compensation for your participation.
 Your participation in this research is voluntary, and you can withdraw at any point during the study.

The Principal Investigator of this study is Richard Wassersug, PhD.
 If you have any questions, you can contact him at richard.wassersug@ubc.ca.

We are interested in your opinions about the side effects of ADT, even if you have never been on it or expect to be on it.

Your responses may help millions of men worldwide with prostate cancer!

Took it because as I share doing all I can to defer ADT/CR for as long as possible by debulking. It is not that I fear ADT, if it comes to it, want to delay as long as possible. I have not hesitated to do immunotherapy for my recently found Stage 4 melanoma, so again, not fearing.

I took the survey. However, I am not from USA or Canada (which at the end of the survey needs to be ticked off). Should citizens from outside the US or Canada take this survey?

Not what you're looking for?
