Health coaching to help Black men get prostate germline genetic testing
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a community health coach to help Black men with prostate cancer understand and access genetic testing that looks for inherited cancer risk. It may help you talk with your care team about testing and reduce barriers to getting results.
