Feasibility of an intervention for men on androgen deprivation therapy: A research protocol

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a treatment used across the prostate cancer disease spectrum and works by suppressing testicular androgen production to castrate levels. Although ADT can provide survival benefits, it is also associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, metabolic s...

Description
Summary:Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a treatment used across the prostate cancer disease spectrum and works by suppressing testicular androgen production to castrate levels. Although ADT can provide survival benefits, it is also associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, increased visceral fat mass, dyslipidemia, decreased arterial compliance, and diminished health‐related quality of life. The Staying Strong And Healthy protocol is a telephone‐delivered intervention led by a nurse coordinator to minimize the increased cardiovascular and metabolic risks associated with ADT. This study will evaluate the feasibility of the protocol and provides the foundation for future behavioral interventions across diverse populations of men on ADT.
