The primary objective is to perform a pilot trial evaluation of a novel prostate ultrasound imaging software utilizing tissue elasticity measurements to identify tumor foci among men who will undergo radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. As a secondary objective, investigators will compare elasticity measured tumor foci volume to the measured volume from radical prostatectomy pathologic examination.
This is a pilot study assessing the role of the general practitioner in performing follow-up reviews on men who have recently completed radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This will be measured primarily by assessing any changes to the patient's health-related quality of life which will be evaluated by the completion of questionnaires by the participant at each review visit. The study aims to confirm that patient outcome is identical, independent of whether follow-up is performed by a specialist or the patient's General Practitioner.
The purpose of this project is to test a telephone delivered educational support program versus an education only program for improving symptom management and quality of life in men with prostate cancer and their partners.
The purpose of this trial was to select a dose of degarelix (FE 200486). Three groups of patients were treated for six months on different doses. The patients had blood samples taken and measured for Testosterone in order to determine the most efficient dose to provide fast and sustained castration. The patients came to the clinic for 16 visits and dependent on the blood sample results they were invited to return for additional blood samples on a two weekly basis.
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of degarelix when comparing six different doses. The patients participating in the trial were treated with degarelix every month for a year. During the treatment the patients had to visit the clinic for investigations. Blood samples for testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and Prostate Specific Antigen were taken and analysed throughout the trial.
The purpose of this trial was to find an optimal dose for a new trial drug - degarelix (FE200486) - in the treatment of prostate cancer. Furthermore the safety of the drug was studied. Patients participating were treated with FE200486 on one occasion. Thereafter they came in for visits following a specific schedule until blood samples showed that there was no further effect.
This protocol is open to subjects previously enrolled in and who had completed a Phase I or Phase II study administering YM155. Subjects who are receiving benefit from treatment with YM155 are eligible after completing the previous study.
Patients with prostate cancer treated in outpatient clinics will be recruited by their urologist physician. Primary Objective: To evaluate the compliance in male patients with prostate cancer treated with Bisphosphonate and that suffered from Osteopenia/osteoporosis. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the compliance of family physicians to prescribe Bisphosphonate for patients upon recommendation by Urologists. To evaluate the overall number of patients treated by Bisphosphonate in the out-patient clinics, To evaluate incidence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in this study population.
There are two parts to this study: (1) an information gathering phase leading to development of a new decision aid (phase 1); and (2) a study to test the newly developed decision aid (phase 2).
