Filter by:The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in Hong Kong, as well as that of recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer, with side effects such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis and cognitive impairment. With the improvement of treatment, the 5-year survival rate of recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer is up to 20%, and therefore increases the chances of developing such side effects. Due to the introduction of next generation sequencing, investigators have more knowledge of the microbiota in our body, particularly the gut microbiota. Different studies have related gut dysbiosis with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. If investigators can show that ADT is leading to gut dysbiosis, this could be a way in preventing or treating the side effects of ADT. This study aims to identify whether ADT in patients with prostate cancer will have different composition in their gut and urine microbiota.
This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of video and web-based communication in clinical research compared to standard practices.
This is a single-center, single arm, open-label phase II study evaluating the safety, anti-tumor effect, and immunogenicity of neoadjuvant Dupixent given prior to radical prostatectomy.
Evaluation the ability of each indicator of Cardio Q in predicting hypotension after position changes in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
Single-centre single-armed, non-randomized interventional phase II-study of hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy "IGRT" with weekly magnetic resonance imagings "MRI" for personalized adaptation of the treatment plan depending on individual MR-anatomy of prostate/organ at risks "OAR" during course of IGRT.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the infectious outcomes of intrarectal povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of needle tip during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. The secondary objective is to evaluate predictive factors of infectious complications after prostate biopsy. Data will be prospectively collected from patients who will undergo prostate biopsy in a single high volume urology center. The patients will be randomized to two different groups: group A - rectal cleansing and disinfection of the needle tip vs group B - controls.
Thirty-five men with newly diagnosed, metastatic prostate cancer are scanned with 18F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT at baseline, 3 weeks after the initiation of GnRH-antagonist, at one year and at the time of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The aim of the study is to classify metastatic lesions into those with PSMA-flare and those without and determine their potential to progress during the follow-up until CRPC.
This is a prospective multicentric phase-I-II pilot feasibility study. The main objective is to study early and late side effects of hypofractionated accelerated RT for prostate cancer with FFF (Free Flattened Filter) beam. The schedule will be [ 4 x 9.5 Gy = 38 Gy ] delivered in 5 alternative days.
A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic prostatectomy) and improved patient care.
This behavioral clinical trial assesses the efficacy of a educational intervention to increase shared decision making about prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening for prostate cancer among African American males. Half of participants will receive a multimedia educational intervention, while the other half will receive usual care.
