Observational Longitudinal Study of Pain in Men With Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer

The first goal of this study is to learn more about the experience of pain and other symptoms in men being treated for advanced prostate cancer. The second goal of the study is to identify reliable ways of measuring pain which will be used in future clinical trials of treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
