NYU Langone Health is currently enrolling participants for two studies. Both offer compensation, virtual participation, and the opportunity to elevate voices that are often missing from cancer research.
Study 1: How Men Experience Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling
Virtual | English-language | $40 compensation
What does it take to get meaningful nutrition support as part of prostate cancer care? This NYU Langone Health study seeks to understand the real-world experiences of men with prostate cancer when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle counseling.

Why This Research Matters
Nutrition and lifestyle changes can be powerful allies in cancer care — a key takeaway from TLCI’s 2025 Forum Series on Latino Men’s Health & Cancer.
The Power of Prevention
Up to 45% of cancer deaths may be prevented through diet and lifestyle changes shared Ana Maria Lopez, MD, MPH, MACP—Medical Oncologist and Director of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Lopez also discussed how food acculturation, cooking methods, and access to culturally relevant nutrition guidance can shape long-term cancer outcomes. (“Food as Medicine – We Are What We Eat and It Could be Deadly,” Forum 1, 2025, Hour 3)
Meeting Men Where They Are
Lisa Goldman-Rosas, PhD, MPH (Stanford School of Medicine) reinforced that effective interventions must meet Latino men where they are. Her work with the HOMBRE Trial showed that culturally appropriate approaches—honoring family, tradition, and food choices—can help men achieve meaningful health improvements, including 5–7% weight loss linked to diabetes prevention and better cardiovascular health.

Study 2: Latino Perspectives on Genetic Testing for Prostate Cancer
Virtual | Spanish-language | $40 compensation
Genetic testing is becoming a critical part of personalized prostate cancer care, but many Latino men still don’t have access to it, or don’t fully understand what their results mean. This study, conducted entirely in Spanish, explores how Hispanic and Latino men view and experience genetic testing.

Why It Matters
Genetic testing should be a standard part of prostate cancer care—not just to inform treatment, but to help family members understand their own risk. An insight from Matthew Cooperberg, MD, MPH (UC San Francisco) during his presentation Prostate Cancer 2025: Smarter Screening, Smarter Treatment (Forum 1, 2025, Hour 2). Forum participants—from Ask the Men panel—shared powerful stories about both the value and challenges of genetic testing.
Help Spread the Word
Community health workers, promotoras, patient navigators, advocates, and clinicians: Please share these opportunities with men in your networks who may be eligible. Trusted voices like yours play a critical role in helping patients learn about research and decide if participation is right for them.

Why TLCI Shares Research Like This
The Latino Cancer Institute shares research opportunities to connect communities with patient-centered studies and support equitable participation in cancer research—especially when those studies seek perspectives that have historically been underrepresented.
We’re currently compiling a centralized list of research studies we’ve helped promote, which will be available soon.
