This research study is following older men (age 65 and up) who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The researchers want to understand how a condition called "frailty"—which involves weakness and reduced ability to handle stress on the body—affects men with prostate cancer and how it influences their health outcomes and quality of life during cancer treatment.
As men age and face cancer treatment, some become frailer and more vulnerable to serious side effects from therapy. Current tools doctors use to assess whether patients can tolerate strong cancer treatments don't always work well for older adults, so researchers want to study frailty more carefully to help doctors make better treatment decisions.

You would meet with a research nurse during regular business hours to complete health questionnaires and assessments about your physical strength, energy levels, and quality of life. The study follows you over time, gathering information about your prostate cancer, any treatments you receive, and how you're doing—this is an observational study, meaning researchers are watching and documenting your health rather than giving you a new medication or procedure to test.
