Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of pre-test video education and post-test genetic counseling as compared to in-person pre-test genetic counseling in males with advanced prostate cancer.

Detailed description

Participants will be randomized to either pre-test video education and post-test genetic counseling or in-person pre-test genetic counseling. Outcomes evaluated are: prevalence of germline mutations, uptake of genetic testing, satisfaction with testing, knowledge of multi-gene panels, distress, result disclosure to relatives, and the impact on personal or family medical care. Through this study, the investigators will learn about the inherited causes of prostate cancer, and how and when genetic testing should be offered to this population.
