Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All patients will be offered germline genetic testing by a member of their treating oncology team:
- Patients will receive pre-test genetic counselling by member of their treating team, including provision of a general information sheet about the testing
- Participants will then have testing performed by collection of a saliva sample, with testing performed for 16 prostate cancer genes (ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, EPCAM, HOXB13, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, NBN, PMS2, TP53, FANCA, PALB2, RAD51D, BRIP1)

Once patients have received their results, they will immediately be provided witha questionnaire evaluating acceptability of the testing process
- a reminder questionnaire will be sent in the mail 4 weeks after the initial questionnaire, if they fail to return a completed questionnaire

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Descriptive statistics will be used to analyse the survey responses.

A sample size of 44 men will provide 90% power to distinguish a proportion of men who are happy with mainstreaming of 80% vs. 60% or less, with a one-sided alpha of 0.05. Allowing for 25% drop-out, we aim to recruit 60 men. A rate of men happy with testing of over 80% will be considered worthwhile.

Summary
Brief summary
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines now suggest testing all men with metastatic prostate cancer for germline mutations predisposing to cancer, the purpose of this study is to determine whether this kind of testing is acceptable to patients with prostate cancer.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Study details:
The study involves having a discussion with a member of your treating oncology team about genetic testing for an inherited gene that may have predisposed to developing prostate cancer.

If you agree to the testing, we will collect a saliva sample and send it for testing. The results will be available in about 4 weeks. If your result shows a change in one of the genes that we are testing for, that may have contributed to your development of prostate cancer, then we will refer you for a consultation with the Familial Cancer Service.

After your oncologist provides you with the test result, we will provide you with a questionnaire, asking you about your opinion on the testing process.

It is hoped that this study will help determine if the testing process is acceptable to patients with prostate cancer.
