The purposes of this study are: a) to develop a statewide Biobank for prostate cancer among
men of African Ancestry in Florida and; b) to examine whether smoking increases the
aggressiveness of prostate cancer using several biological approaches.

Investigators plan to contact African American prostate cancer patients regarding
participation. This project has 3 main components. Eligible patients may choose to
participate in any or all parts of the study: Questionnaires; Saliva Samples; Tumor Tissue.

This project will create the first state-wide data and biospecimen bank for men of African
ancestry with prostate cancer. The sampling strategy and size of the study population ensure
that the cohorts is representative, enhancing validity of studies based on this resource. In
addition, there are no data on the role of smoking in African American prostate cancer. The
approach to share the resource with Florida prostate cancer researchers is innovative and
possible because the four annual prostate cancer symposiums organized by Moffitt has unified
many Florida prostate cancer researchers who are now well connected and actively
collaborating, as evidenced by publications and funded projects among participants.
