Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to follow people with prostate cancer for two years to understand how often depression develops and what factors may increase the risk. Participants will complete questionnaires about their mood and well-being. By tracking these changes over time, researchers hope to better understand the relationship between prostate cancer and depression, and use this information to improve early identification and support for patients.
Eligible participants will review the study with study staff and provide consent. Participants will complete health assessments and questionnaires about mood, health and lifestyle, then will be followed for two years with yearly follow-up visits to update health information and complete questionnaires. Some study information may also be collected from medical records.
Eligibility
Men aged 45 or older with prostate cancer may be eligible if they were diagnosed within the past 12 months, started androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) within the past six months, or plan to begin ADT within the next month. Participants must be willing to provide consent. Individuals whose prostate cancer was discovered incidentally during cystectomy for bladder cancer are not eligible.
