Filter by:Taxane neuropathy is a common and long-term side effect of long-term morbidity in patients surviving cancer. No preventive or symptomatic treatment has been shown to be effective. Its pathophysiology is poorly known and probably multifactorial. A possible mechanism would be mediated by the activation of the SK3 calcium channel: a retrospective study carried out at the University Hospital of Tours (Carina RUA) found a significant association between the number of CAG triplets in the KCNN3 gene coding for the SK3 channel and the appearance of a taxane neuropathy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of olaparib and durvalumab are better than the standard of care for treating prostate cancer.
The objective of the study is to evaluate 68Ga PSMA 11 PET/MRI and 68Ga RM2 PET/MRI for biopsy guidance in patients with suspected prostate cancer.
Patients with post-prostatectomy PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features will receive salvage radiation therapy and standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or enhanced ADT to determine if there is any improvement in progression-free survival when enhanced ADT is used compared to standard ADT.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in intra-abdominal pressure which surgeons use during surgery and post-surgery pain in men who undergo robotic prostate surgery with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB), compared with moderate NMB.
The EMPOWeR study is proposed as a cohort study with longitudinal follow-up to determine rates of genetic mutations among men with or at-risk for prostate cancer to address the various facets of genetic education and counseling for optimized genetic assessment and wellness of men. The results will inform practice guidelines and future studies for maximal impact of genetic evaluation of men for inherited prostate cancer.
The investigators are imaging patients with prostate cancer using a new Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging agent (Ga-68-PSMA-11) in order to evaluate its ability to detect prostate cancer.
To determine if holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and/or urinary retention alters the treatment course for patients concurrently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
This study evaluates the rate of radiological disease progression with the new 2nd generation positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical, 18F-DCFPyL, in patients with metastatic castration (mCRPC) and non-metastatic (nmCRPC) castration resistant prostate cancer who have evidence of biochemical (PSA) disease progression without evidence of radiological disease progression on conventional standard radiologic testing (99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan and CT).
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is a critical component of advanced prostate cancer treatment but causes numerous adverse effects including decreased bone mass, decreased muscle mass, gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, loss of sexual desire, depression, disordered sleep, urinary symptoms, and hot flashes (HF). HF are unpleasant paroxysmal episodes of flushing, sweating with vasodilation of the face, neck, and chest. These episodes can last for seconds to minutes and are often associated with night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia and have negative effects on quality of life. Stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) with local anesthetic may be an effective treatment of HF in men on ADT, but has not been studied in any published clinical trials. The stellate ganglion is a neural structure in the anterior cervical spine region and is part of the sympathetic nervous system. It has been injected safely in the practice of pain management for more than 50 years in cases of post herpetic neuralgia (shingles), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and other painful neuropathies as well as some types of cardiac dysrhythmias. Given the frequency and severity and interference of HF in men on ADT for prostate cancer, in addition to the negative effects HF impose on this patient population and a paucity of effective treatments, finding alternative treatments for HF in this population is needed.
