A Study of Telemedicine Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) Versus Individual Telemedicine Visits for People With Prostate Cancer (NCT05416996)

Feasibility Study of Randomizing Patients to Telemedicine Shared Medical Appointments Versus Telemedicine Single Visits for Men With Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to see if a telemedicine group doctor's appointment is a practical (feasible) and acceptable method for following people with prostate cancer being managed with active surveillance when compared with the usual approach of individual telemedicine visits, which involve the participant visiting a doctor on their own. The researchers will compare the telemedicine group and individual visits by measuring on participant satisfaction and quality of life in each type of visit.
