Filter by:RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often osteonecrosis of the jaw occurs in patients receiving zoledronic acid for bone metastases may help doctors learn more about the disease and provide the best follow-up care. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with cancer who are receiving zoledronic acid for bone metastases.
The goal of this clinical research study is find the highest tolerable dose of BMTP-11 when given to patients with prostate cancer that has spread. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
Eligible patients with high-risk prostate cancer who are scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy will receive four cycles of therapy with ketoconazole and docetaxel prior to surgery resection. A cycle of therapy is defined as 21 days (three weeks). Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with the first and second cycle of therapy. All patients will be evaluated for toxicity, tumor response, and recurrence.
RATIONALE: Telephone counseling after radical prostatectomy may help African American prostate cancer survivors and their intimate partners cope with the problems and challenges of surgery, and may reduce distress and improve quality of life. It is not yet known which counseling and education program is more effective in helping prostate cancer survivors and their partners. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying effective ways to help African American prostate cancer survivors and their partners cope with challenges after surgery for early-stage prostate cancer.
A randomized clinical trial evaluating the use of a pedometer and brief exercise coaching in prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy. The investigators want to demonstrate if there are less side effects of hormonal therapy and better quality of life in patients who made regular exercise.
The goal of the study is to gain a better understanding of the molecular changes responsible for causing prostate cancer and that examination of tissue and blood samples will help in the development of improved screening and therapeutic approaches.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of neoadjuvant dutasteride and bicalutamide has the same efficacy and less toxicity than standard treatment with an LHRH agonist and bicalutamide for prostate cytoreduction prior to permanent implant brachytherapy.
The purpose of the study is to determine if advanced prostate cancer patient s that are treated with radiotherapy (RT) plus ipilimumab live longer that those treated with RT alone
This trial is designed to determine the proper doses of Docetaxel and Imatinib mesylate to be used to treat hormone refractory prostate cancer and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment.
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most common curative approach offered to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Unfortunately, up to half of these patients will have factors placing them at high risk of their cancer recurring. Having radiotherapy after RP is known to improve cure rates, but what is not known is whether it should be given straight after the operation or only when there is a rising PSA after surgery indicating active cancer. Immediate RT may not benefit all men, and can cause serious side effects such as bladder and bowel problems and impotence. International lack of consensus on the optimal timing of RT has resulted in varied clinical practice. This phase 3 trial will compare the two approaches.
