About the study
COMPPARE will ask 3,000 prostate cancer patients (ages 30-80) across the US who have chosen to be treated with proton therapy or photon therapy to answer brief surveys regarding treatment choice, quality of life, and side effects for at least 3 years.
To participate, talk to your doctor about the study. You can also email comppare-admin@ufl.edu for any questions you may have.
