Abstract Black/African American populations, globally, bear the greatest prostate cancer (CaP) burden compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Addressing CaP disparities in Black men is complex, requiring a patient-centered, community-centric and comprehensive approach. This study integrates iCCaRE Consortium findings and broader literature to address unmet needs in survivorship care. The iCCaRE Consortium implemented five complementary pilot studies using mixed-methods designs, including feasibility trials, qualitative research, and observational analyses across the United States and sub-Saharan Africa. Descriptive statistics, subgroup analyses, and qualitative thematic analyses were performed across these studies. Collectively, projects addressed multilevel determinants including social, behavioral, and biological drivers of disparities. Project 1 implemented a Virtual Reality Assistant (ViRA) across clinical and community settings, with ongoing evaluation in pragmatic trials. Project 2 showed strong patient preference for home-based cancer care. Project 3 enrolled demonstrated trends toward improved health-related quality of life. Project 4 identified key themes influencing survivorship experiences. Project 5 identified biological mechanisms linking stress, immune modulation, and symptom burden. The iCCaRE pilot projects demonstrate the feasibility and early impact of a consortium-based, transdisciplinary approach to addressing CaP disparities in Black men. These findings highlight the importance of integrating patient-centered interventions, community engagement, and biological insights to inform scalable strategies aimed at improving survivorship outcomes and advancing health equity. The iCCaRE Consortium demonstrates that a transatlantic, patient-centered, and multidisciplinary approach integrating social, clinical, and biological factors can generate scalable strategies to improve survivorship outcomes and advance equity in CaP care for Black men.

Abstract Introduction: Advances in treatment have led to significant increases in survival rates, with over 90% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer (CaP) living at least five years. However, surviving cancer and its treatment often weigh a hefty survivorship burden. Men from the at-risk, vulnerable populations have the greatest burden. This study aims to understand distress among Black CaP survivors (CaPS) who bear the heaviest CaP burden. Method: We conducted key informant interviews with Motivational Interviewing techniques to collect CaPS demographic information, medical history, and multilevel distress evaluation. Descriptive analyses were conducted using SAS. Results: A total of 22 CaPS (aged from 48 to 72) were involved in the study. The majority of CaPS were African American (90.9%) and were diagnosed with stage 2 (31.8%) or stage 3 (36.4%). Over half of them (68.2%) were treated by surgery; most CaPS (90.9%) experienced side effects from prostate cancer treatments. CaPS reported distress in the following domains: Emotional well-being (e.g., Feeling sad, depressed or anxious, mental health) – 40.9%, Death of someone very close to you (e.g., family) – 36.4%, Alcohol use in close family – 36.4%, Experiences of discrimination or racism – 36.4%, Healthcare costs and coverage (e.g., medication, medical services, copay, insurance premium) – 31.8%, Loneliness and isolation – 27.3%, Serious injury/illness in close family (e.g., being a caregiver) – 27.3%, Money and finance – 22.7%, Using telehealth (e.g., using a smartphone or tablet for telephone or over the computer, clinic visit, patient portal, completing online forms, virtual classes) – 22.7%, Marriage, romantic relationships – 22.7%. Discussion: Black CaP survivors (CaPS) who bear the heaviest CaP burden are considered a priority population for research and care. These CaPS identified that their psychological distress was related to both familial and socioeconomic issues. The most endorsed life-stresses included emotional wellbeing, experiences of discrimination/racism, loneliness and isolation, healthcare cost/finance, family health, personal relationship, and telehealth use. The distress data as measured by the life-stress scale are invaluable in better documenting and addressing distress in interventions responsive to specific priority communities. Our novel findings suggest the relevance of grief and loss for these men. 36% reported death of someone close, and 27% indicated distress due to loneliness and isolation. Though the sample size was small, the distress data obtained may inform the science and practice of whole-person survivorship that consider distress emphasizing emotional wellbeing. The study is ongoing, and this abstract presents preliminary results; further muti-variate analyses will be conducted for the conference presentation.

Abstract In the US and globally, Black men experience the highest prostate cancer burden among all racial and ethnic groups, underscoring the urgent need for research to guide the development and implementation of culturally tailored strategies aimed at reducing disparities and improving outcomes. In response, the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) Consortium was created to advance health equity and reduce disparities in prostate cancer. Importantly, a Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) is recommended to educate and empower patients, enabling them to be better informed about their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship care recommendations. To date, there is no SCP targeted to Black prostate cancer survivors (CaPS) who have the greatest disparities with the poorest survivorship outcomes (ACS F&F; AACR HD Report; Fullwood, 2024). Therefore, we aimed to develop a SCP tailored for Black men. Addressing the unique needs of Black men require a genuine bidirectional relationship between scientist and the community rooted in community engaged research (CER). The SCP was first informed by the literature (Bonner, 2024) and the ASCO template (canceradvocacy.org). With input from the iCCaRE leadership and the Partnership Engagement Services (PES) Core, the Whole Person SCP better responds to the informational, clinical and quality of life needs of Black Prostate Cancer survivors. Based on CER, we included 22 diverse, Black CaPs to further guide and tailor the iCCaRE. Our findings indicate that the iCCaRE Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) enhanced the ASCO template by incorporating and expanding several unique domains, including family history, care team contacts, follow-up and surveillance, symptoms, quality of life, survivor concerns, major comorbidities, health advisories, and culturally relevant resources, creating a comprehensive, whole-person SCP tailored specifically for Black men. It is crucial to continue to improve support for clinical research and advocate for Black men and their communities to reduce prostate cancer burden. Prostate cancer also needs to include incidence, mortality, and disparities for Black men to raise awareness of scarcely studied field of Black men and prostate cancer survivorship.

SUMMARY Copper (Cu) was assayed in serial liver biopsy specimens of 5 pups resulting from a mating of 2 Bedlington Terrier carriers of inherited Cu toxicosis; the latter were sibling offspring of an affected Bedlington Terrier and a normal dog. Between 5 and 7 months of age, 1 of the pups had acceptable hepatic Cu values in each of 6 specimens. The hepatic concentration of Cu in another pup increased steadily from 801 to 3,874 μg/g dry weight. The other 3 pups may be heterozygotes (carriers); in 1—the hepatic Cu peaked at 1,043 μg/g at 9 months, in the 2nd—at 636 μg/g at 7 months, and in the 3rd—at 492 μg/g at 7 months. Acceptable concentrations were present in these 3 dogs at 9 to 14 months. Results in the present study indicate that heterozygotes may have 1 normal and 1 abnormal controller gene for regulating their hepatic Cu metabolism, thus accounting for the increased hepatic Cu concentration only in the early months of life. The affected Bedlington Terrier with 2 abnormal genes was unable to suppress the progressive hepatic accumulation of Cu. Paired liver biopsy specimens obtained at 5 to 7 months and at 14 or 15 months of age might distinguish the heterozygote from the normal and the affected Bedlington Terrier pups.

Abstract Intro: Compared to white men, Black men bear the highest burden of prostate cancer, experiencing a higher incidence and mortality rate, and poorer survivorship outcomes. Although prioritized, survivorship and quality of life (QOL) are under-studied in the fight against prostate cancer disparities. To address this issue, clinicians, researchers, and community advocates have formed the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) Consortium for Black Men. iCCaRE’s goal is to advance the science and practice of survivorship focused on the needs of Black men and their loved ones affected by prostate cancer. Methods: We developed a survivorship care plan (SCP) tailored to the whole person's needs. IRB-approved qualitative methods to preliminarily gain evaluation and guidance on the SCP. The SCP presented content in the following areas: diagnosis and treatment, follow-up care/surveillance, family history, care team, major co-morbidities, symptoms and quality of life, survivorship concerns, and health advisories. Results: 23 Black prostate cancer survivors (PCS) participated and provided feedback on the SCP Mean age was 64 years. PCS diagnosed between 2018-2023 between stages 1-4. The Majority of PCS were provided information for follow-up and side effects. But none had received a comprehensive SCP All agreed that the SCP would contribute to enhancing cancer knowledge, patient activation, and shared decision, and their QOL, if the SCP was obtained. A survivor noted “having inspirational quotes throughout the SCP is important”. An unforeseen consequence to the interviews was the emotional release for the men, justifying the need for the SCP and an expansion of its scope. Domains that the men wanted more contents were social support, sexuality, masculinity, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. All PCS understood the value of having trusted family and friends to bear the burden of the disease despite some not having a solid support system. PCS emphasized the role of family support stating, “my wife and children helped me stay positive”. Another critical lifestyle component that survivors mentioned was their sexuality and how it directly reflects their masculinity. Although PCS adapted to other forms of intimacy like couples’ activities and stronger communication with their partners, majority of men struggle with adapting to their sexual performance. A quote by a survivor encompasses the mindset expressed by many of the men fear “Like a track star in his prime who can’t run anymore”. Erectile Dysfunction can lead to fear and anxiety among survivors, ultimately affecting QOL. Lastly, PCS wanted more options to stay fit and healthy. Further research and resources are needed to address survivor concerns in this area. Discussion: Overall, PCS have acknowledged that the SCP can assist them in these areas of concern, but more research is required. Life after prostate cancer treatment is an ongoing process; while some survivors cope better than others, it is evident a need for more information and guidance is not being provided to all those affected.

Abstract Background: Sub-Saharan African Immigrants (SSAI) represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the immigrant population in the United States (US). Between 2010 and 2018, the SSAI population in the US increased by 53%, significantly outpacing the 12% growth rate for the overall foreign-born population in the US during that time frame. Despite these growing numbers, little is published about the extent to which SSAIs adapt to health behaviors more common in the US or remain immersed in the values, beliefs and practices reflective of their country of origin. Importantly, no study has comprehensively examined the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) among this population relative to their migration experiences and their influence on health-seeking behaviors and decision-making regarding prostate cancer care and treatment options. Methods: This qualitative study employed grounded theory and the social determinants of migrant heath framework to better understand the needs of SSAI prostate cancer survivors in the United States and how to effectively support these survivors. In-depth interviews were conducted with 8 survivors who live in the states of Florida and Minnesota. Findings: Some participants reported limited access to care and financial challenges paying for drugs. In terms of coping with diagnosis and treatment, most of the participants relied on their faith, a positive outlook about survivorship and support of family members. Some participants relied on the coaching and support of a loved one who experienced prostate cancer in the past. Erectile dysfunction severely impacted the sexual life of most participants as they experienced difficulty getting an erection. Conclusion: Participants expressed the benefit of belonging to support groups with other survivors for social and emotional support. As the number of immigrants from sub-Saharan continue to rise, so too will the demand for culturally tailored care to address and reduce disparities in survivorship among this sub-population.

Abstract Black men hold the highest prostate cancer burden among all ethnicities; thus, there is an urgent need for research to inform the development and implementation of a culturally tailored intervention to reduce disparities and improve outcomes. In response, the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) Consortium was created to advance health equity and reduce disparities in prostate cancer. Addressing the unique needs of Black men require a genuine bidirectional relationship between scientist and the community. In the Black community, faith-based organizations are respected institutions advocating for health equity and justice. Given their vital role as community health gatekeepers, the iCCaRE Consortium partners with faith-based organizations. Rooted in community engaged research (CER), we conducted an environmental scan through stakeholder meetings to discuss the prevailing challenges and opportunities to meet the needs of the Black community along the prostate cancer care continuum. iCCaRE investigators including Partnership Engagement Services (PES) core partnered with faith-based organizations to ensure and advance community responsive cancer prevention. Together, with our faith-based leaders (N=18), we identified gaps including issues associated with the care continuum from screening to diagnosis and from treatment to survivorship; disparities according to health coverage and social determinants of health, and best practices to assist patients including care coordination, patient navigation, digital innovations, and programs offered by patient advocacy organizations. In response to the needs of the community and the strengths of faith-based organization, we prioritized our initial focus on increasing community prostate cancer literacy and activation using co-design educational infographics for both traditional and technology-based communication platforms. The infographics provided evidence-based facts about prostate cancer burden in the Black community; and using a call to action approach, we emphasized the importance of taking action for life saving screening, prevention and healthy lifestyle. Taking action in prostate cancer symptom recognition, survivorship care, and quality care. Also, co-designed infographics were created for clinical studies and biospecimen awareness and participation and the importance of advocacy and equitable care. Another component incorporated face to face trainings and presentations to enhance their knowledge of cancer screening tools, epidemiology of prostate cancer, and pathways to care. This presentation highlighted the first step towards community based intervention development, implementation and dissemination towards equity and justice for prostate cancer prevention and patient/survivor improvements for Black men.

Abstract Introduction: Black men have the highest prostate cancer (CaP) mortality rates. The reason for this disparity is multifaceted, including the barriers that they face at the individual, provider, and health system levels. To address these challenges the iCCaRE for Black Men Consortium uses a multi-level approach to disseminating CaP information. This approach is rooted in research which shows that Black men prefer to receive information through multi-media channels tailored to their needs. In addition, studies have reported that CaP survivors were viewed as credible sources of information. This presentation reports on how iCCaRE Consortium is bridging the digital divide in minoritized communities to disseminate CaP information in a way that is meaningful to the community. Methodology: iCCaRE uses a multimedia method to reach Black men. This includes twitter post, Facebook, YouTube, ecancer and community lunch and learns. In addition to social media, we have partnered with LitTV Network, a locally owned digital TV platform, on which we have iCCaRE TV. On Lit TV network we have the ability to reach 11,000 homes in our catchment area. Furthermore, the consortium has produced informational flyers that are disseminated at outreach events and at the American Legion Post 197. On the twitter page the consortium post: (1) 2 scientific publications per day authored by members of the consortium, (2) 2 weekly “Did You Know” facts about prostate cancer with sources attached, (3) 2 weekly url post sharing a link to a video from the iCCaRE consortium YouTube page and (4) clips of CaP survivors sharing their experiences. On the YouTube page we currently have: videos series of a CaP survivor who is also a physician scientist, interview series with MPIs and members of the consortium, CaP survivor series including a barbershop interview with a survivor. Results: The iCCaRE Consortium multimedia efforts have a global reach, in less than a year we have gained 102 twitter followers. On average the twitter page receives 8,700 impressions during the CaP awareness month in September the twitter page garnered over 14,000 impressions. Our videos on the ecancer platform have a combined global view of 341 representing countries such as the United States, Nigeria, Cameroon, United Kingdom, Macedonia, and Mexico. The American Legion Post 197 in North Jacksonville has served a cumulative of 229 people through outreach and educational event called lunch and learns. Our YouTube channel has had almost 100 views in its first month of being active. Conclusion: Using a multi-level approach to reduce the burden of CaP for Black men is vitally important; without such efforts the disparate thread in mortality will continue to persist. Meeting Black men through the mediums they use for gathering health information removes barriers, increases access and will aid in the fight against CaP for Black Men.

Abstract Background: To date, the disparate burden of prostate cancer (CaP) in Black men (BM) is still poorly understood. More disconcerting is the limited access to effective, culturally tailored behavioral interventions to support BM diagnosed with CaP, especially at the point of prostate cancer diagnosis (PPCD). From the PPCD, the transition to CaP survivorship can be mentally and physically trying, especially for those lacking emotional and financial support. It is important to provide psycho-oncology support, address social determinants of health (SDOH) and make emotional support available to ethnically diverse BM at the PPCD. We are addressing the CaP disparities experienced by BM at the PPCD through the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) for Black Men Consortium. Aim: As part of the iCCaRE for Black men Consortium, the specific aim of our project is to develop a PPCD-based Augmented Reality (AR) intervention program, the iCCaRE PPCD Virtual Robot Assistant (ViRA). The ViRA is based on the established efficacy of six CaP care and survivorship (CaPCaS) video interventions, and will support BM at the PPCD. Methodology: The efficacy of six CaPCaS videos were established through formative research that included 17 BM in Florida. Based on pre- and post-test design, data were collected from participants using a structured survey tailored to each CaPCaS intervention: Prevention, Detection, Diagnosis, Treatment, Survivorship and Advocacy form. Following the efficacy study, the iCCaRE PPCD ViRA was proposed as one of five iCCaRE Science of Survivorship (S.O.S) projects to improve the quality of life of BM. Results: Most of the participants for the efficacy study reported that they were: US-born BM; married; college educated; earn less than $60,000; retired; have health insurance; have annual health examination; have a regular doctor; and were screened within the last year. The CaPCaS videos were found to be efficacious in improving attitude towards CaP screening, beliefs about CaP screening, perceived behavioral control and CaP knowledge. Participants also rated the quality of the videos high and expressed high satisfaction with the videos. We are currently in the development phase of the PPCD iCCaRE ViRA, which is based on behavioral science and health communications model. The ViRA will provide SDOH navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support. The acceptance and usability of the iCCaRE ViRA will be established at urology clinics in Florida as part of the iCCaRE Consortium HEROICA Phase I study. We will test the central hypothesis that improving SDOH factors and CaPCaS-related factors will lead to an improvement in patient reported outcomes. Conclusion: We established the efficacy of the CaPCaS interventions in supporting BM across the CaP care continuum. The iCCaRE ViRA under development will target intervention at the PPCD and deliver a smart and connected personalized AR-enabled intervention system that will positively impact CaP diagnosis experience of BM.

Abstract Background: A recent report from the AACR has found that black men (BM) men have prostate cancer (CaP) death rates that are more than 2 times those for men of any other race or ethnicity. Yet, BM are less likely to receive cutting-edge, or even standard of care treatment compared to their white counterparts. Limited access to care, transportation, patient perception and medical mistrust, as well as cost of care are major contributing factors. Meeting patients where they are and offering treatment in or closer to their homes should help reduce psychological distress and increase access to care and treatment compliance. As part of the iCCaRE for Black men Consortium, we propose a PCHC model which leverages Mayo Clinic Advanced Care at Home (ACH) program and provides a package of care to support the administration of cancer therapy and/or supportive care/symptom management to CaP patients in their homes by specialist healthcare professionals. The objectives of our pilot study are to understand patients’ choice of therapy in choosing the place of treatment and to evaluate the feasibility and impact of PCHC on clinical outcomes, as well as patient reported-outcomes (PRO) and health related quality of life (HQOL). Methodology: For Aim 1, structured questionnaires are used to assess patient preference for location of therapy, at the infusion center or in the home, as well as perceived difficulties and advantages; follow up qualitative data will be collected through semi-structured interviews to capture patients’ thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and questions towards cancer treatments being administered at home versus in a hospital setting. Aim 2 is an observational study of BM with advanced CaP who are participating in a pragmatic, practice-based randomized clinical trial to track acceptability by and impact of home administration of cancer directed or supportive therapy. Results: For Aim 1, data is used to identify themes regarding perceived advantages and concerns of PCHC and inform our understanding of the proportion of patients who are willing to receive and would benefit from this level of care at home. For Aim 2, the following outcomes are evaluated: (a) time to first ER visit and to first hospitalization; (b) HRQoL and quality-adjusted survival; (c) patient satisfaction and compliance, including home time, adherence with symptom self-reporting and compliance with treatment, level of comfort interacting with the care team by phone or tablet, ability to reach a team member for questions or concerns; (d) cost, including out of pocket cost for patients. Conclusion: Our project will provide data on patient understanding and acceptability of cancer care at home and strategies for overcoming cancer care delivery disparities and barriers of access to care for underserved communities. The expected outcome of our project is that PCHC intervention will positively impact CaP treatment, patients’ access and experience with healthcare by developing a new concept of closer-to home cancer care delivery that will reach more patients in underserved communities.
