Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn the long term efficacy and side effects associated with utilizing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) radiation for prostate cancer utilizing the Elekta Versa or Agility System. SBRT uses advanced imaging techniques to deliver targeted radiation to a tumor. The Elekta Versa and Agility Systems are approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) for SBRT treatment of cancer. Traditional External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for prostate carcinoma is typically done over the course of approximately 42-45 daily treatments SBRT is a way to condense this treatment into a course of 5 treatments, delivering more dose per day.
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.
BARCODE 1 is a screening study designed to investigate the role of genetic profiling for targeting population prostate cancer screening. A pilot of 300 men were recruited aiming to inform the feasibility and accessibility of the study approach. The full study is an extension of the pilot study aiming to recruit a total of 5000 men.
This trial is studying the effects and safety in treating patients from five different centers with local prostate cancer, employing Composite Steep-pulse(High-frequency irreversible electroporation) Treatment Apparatus. This device could cause cell irreversible electroporation, which leading necrosis of tumor cells. It also has the ability to prevent nerve,vessel, urethral and capsule unnecessary injury beside the ablation area. Composite Steep-pulse Treatment Apparatus will be used in patients who pass inclusion/exclusion criteria. Safety, quality of life, and histopathological analysis of prostate speciem will be evaluated in each study patients.
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.
Hypofractionated radiosurgery has been investigated in a few trials and appears to be safe and feasible. Investigators initiated this multicenter phase II prospective trial to analyse feasibility (toxicity) of hypofractionated radiosurgery with 5 fractions in patients with localised prostate cancer under the hypothesis that the ratio of patients with late toxicity ≥ grade 2 after 3 years amounts 4.1% and is significant lower than 12.3% and 8.7% currently.
Prospective randomized blinded RCT comparing Transdouglas Prostatectomy to classical transperitoneal anterior radical prostatectomy
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drugs work), safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug combination of olaparib and AZD6738 for all patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This study utilizes advanced imaging techniques (mpMRI prostate scan) to select and stratify patients for two different radiotherapy regimens based on the presence/absence of identifiable intraprostatic lesions. In patients without identifiable prostate cancer lesions, SBRT to the prostate in 5 sessions (fractions) will be administered. In patients with MRI-identified lesion(s), pelvic IMRT in 25 fractions will be administered followed by an SBRT prostate boost while simultaneously treating the prostate cancer lesion(s) to a higher dose in 3 fractions.
Imaging and staging of prostate cancer is critical for surgical and treatment planning. In this protocol we will image patients with suspected metastatic prostate cancer using 11C-Choline PET and Gallium-68 labeled HBED-CC PSMA (more commonly called 68Ga-PSMA-11) or F-18 labeled PSMA 1007 in order to demonstrate their utility in detecting prostate cancer.
