Filter by:Prostate cancer is the 7th leading cause of cancer death for men in Taiwan. It is important to identify the extent of disease extent to deliver adequate treatment, either for primary staging or in recurrence. However, conventional imaging techniques including computed tomography, bone scintigraphy, and immunoscintigraphy with 111In-capromab pendetide are not sensitive or specific enough to detect metastatic or recurrent disease. Although more widely applied, magnetic resonance still relies on size and shape criteria. 68Ga-PSMA is a new novel positron emission radiotracer which several preliminary data has shown to be effective of detecting recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer. These studies are confined to a small retrospective European population. In this study we aim to synthesize the novel tracer, find the usefulness of 68Ga-PSMA PET in detecting prostate cancer, including primary staging and recurrence, explore the relationship between imaging and clinical parameters, and seek the possibility of 68Ga-PSMA PET to predict tumor nature and prognosis.
This clinical research study is designed to determine the ability of in bore MRI guided Focal Laser Ablation (MRgFLA) in patients with early stage carcinoma of prostate. The results will be evaluated by repeated MRI and prostate biopsy. Previous prospective development study demonstrated that FLA may be a viable option for men with low-intermediate risk prostate cancer. The vast majority of patients undergoing this treatment experienced minimal side effects with no peri-operative complications. Over 80% of patients treated with MRgFLA remain on AS and were able to avoid radical therapy at mean follow up duration of 3 years.
This prospective study of comparing between Transrectal and transperineal prostate MRI targeted biopsy to provide evidence for clinicians to select the appropriate biopsy approach under different conditions.
This multi-center, phase II trial will be conducted in men with castration resistant prostate cancer. The aim of the TRAP trial is to test whether a new precise radiotherapy technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can slow down the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. If SBRT is effective it will represent a new treatment option in these patients, providing more prolonged control without having to resort to chemotherapy and its potentially unpleasant side effects. In this trial, the investigators will identify men who, despite being on next generation androgen deprivation treatment (Abiraterone or Enzalutamide) have developed one or two new sites of worsening (growing) disease but the rest of their cancer is still responding to hormonal therapy. If it is the case that SBRT can successfully treat the cancer which is resistant to current treatment then the investigators hope they will be able to better control the spread of cancer in these patients for longer. The investigators also hope that they will be able to use the tell-tale products (gene markers) that are released into the bloodstream in these patients, or identify characteristics on novel imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help identify patients in the future who will benefit the most.
STHLM3 is a paired diagnostic trial aiming to assess whether a panel of biomarkers for prostate cancer can substantially reduce the proportion of men referred to biopsy whilst maintaining sensitivity for aggressive prostate cancer
This research study is studying an immune-based cancer drug as a possible treatment for prostate cancer. The drug involved in this study is: -Nivolumab
The principal aim of this study is to determine if PET/MRI imaging with 18-F fluciclovine (Axumin) identifies those men with false negative MRI fusion targeted biopsy (MRFTB) of PI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions. PI-RADS 4 and 5 MRI lesions are highly suspicious for clinically significant prostate cancer and require future repeat MRI imaging and possible repeat prostate biopsy depending on the results of the repeat MRI. Men, who had negative MRFTB within past 12 months of PI- RADS 4 or 5 MRI lesion will be included in this diagnostic study. The repeat MRI is standard of care at NYU Langone Health. The investigation aspect of the study is to perform an Axumin scan the same day as the MRI. Those men with persistent highly suspicious lesions will under MRFTB. The biopsy results will be compared with intensity of Axumin uptake within the prostate. The urologist will have the discretion to biopsy Axumin avid lesions not detected by MRI.
The study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, unblinded trial to determine the safety and efficacy of MRI guided focal laser ablation of localized low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. All subjects meeting the inclusion exclusion criteria and are enrolled will undergo a MRI guided focal laser ablation procedure. The primary aim of the study is to study the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
This randomized trial will compare the safety and efficacy of TPM versus TRUS biopsies performed in the outpatient setting. Primary endpoints will be pain as well as detection of clinically significant disease (defined as Gleason Score >=7 or cancer core length >=6 mm). Secondary endpoints will be detection of any prostate cancer, hospital re-admissions within 30 days, aborted procedures due to discomfort, procedure time, adverse events including hematuria, urinary retention, hematospermia, hematochezia, and infection, and patient-reported outcomes as measured on validated instruments such as International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). In men who subsequently elect to undergo radical prostatectomy for definitive treatment of their prostate cancer, Gleason scores at final pathology will be correlated to the Gleason scores obtained at time of biopsy.
This is a double-blind, study to evaluate the performance of NV-VPAC1 PCa Urine Diagnostic Test in three distinct populations being treated at the Intermountain Urology Clinic. The first population (positive control) is comprised of men with biopsy-confirmed PCa who are scheduled for prostatectomy. The second population (negative control) is comprised of men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) who are scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The third population (negative control) is comprised of men or women with bladder/kidney stones who are scheduled for a cystoscopy.
