Summary
This trial is studying how well educational media interventions work in preparing Latinx Spanish-speaking patients for radiation therapy for breast or prostate cancer and in fostering receptivity to and informed decision-making around cancer clinical trial participation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for Latinx Spanish-speaking individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of non-metastatic breast or prostate cancer. They must have a Karnofsky performance status of 70 or above, indicating they are able to care for themselves. Women who can bear children need pregnancy tests as per guidelines. Participants should be planning to receive or currently undergoing curative radiation therapy and must consult using a certified interpreter.
What is being tested?
The study is testing educational media interventions designed to help Latinx patients understand radiation therapy for breast or prostate cancer and encourage informed participation in clinical trials. It includes an audiovisual education program on radiation therapy and brochures from ASTRO and NCI about cancer treatments and research studies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational materials rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects related to drugs or therapies being tested. However, participants may experience emotional responses to the information provided.
