The purpose of this study is to develop a statewide Biobank for a prostate cancer among men of African ancestry in Florida.
Biobank is a bio repository for biological samples (e.g., tumor tissue, saliva) for research.
Your participation in this study will increase our knowledge of how prostate cancer may be developed, detected and possibly treated in future patients.
This study is not designed to treat existing cases of prostate cancer.
