RATIONALE: Gathering information about genetic and environmental factors may help doctors understand why African American men have an increased risk of prostate cancer and die more often from prostate cancer than Caucasian men.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetic and environmental risk factors in African American and Caucasian healthy men and in patients with prostate cancer.

Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | A Case-Control Study of Prostate Cancer in the Greater Baltimore Area: An Epidemiological Study of Genetic Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer in African-American and Caucasian Males |
Estimated Enrollment: | 1200 |
Study Start Date: | October 2004 |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
All patients and healthy participants undergo collection of blood or mouth cells and urine. Patients who undergo prostatectomy donate a sample of ther tumor for genotype, gene expression, and protein expression analysis. Family cancer history, medical history, human body, tobacco and alcohol use, medication, occupational history, lifestyle, sexual history, diet, socioeconomic status, and additional risk factors are assessed using questionnaires periodically.
