Biobank for African American Prostate Cancer Research in Florida

Participants will be asked to complete a baseline questionnaire that asks questions about their demographic information, medical history, and smoking habits when they first enroll in the study. They will also be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire 2 years later. The questionnaires will each take about 25 minutes to complete.

Participants will be asked to provide a saliva sample using the saliva kit that will be mailed to them. Detailed instructions for collection will be included in the saliva collection packet.

Participants will be asked for permission to obtain a sample of their tumor tissue. Participants will receive a medical release form. Once they complete it and mail it back, investigators will request a small amount of tissue collected during the participant's prostate biopsy (or during their surgery, if they had surgery) from their health care provider.
