Home care for prostate cancer in Black men
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving some prostate cancer care at home can help Black men and other patients who have trouble getting to the clinic. It tests if home-based care for treatments like hormone therapy, oral pills, or chemotherapy is practical and helps reduce health care gaps.
