Filter by:This study is to investigate, in a larger cohort of consecutive men, the proportion of abnormal MRI prostate in different phi ranges, and the cancer detected in Chinese men with abnormal MRI. This study aims to evaluate whether MRI prostate can be omitted in men with lower suspicion of prostate cancer.
This is a multicenter, correlative study to existing Lutetium based prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) trials and uses.
the aim of this study is assess deep abdominal wall (ultrasonography of transversus abdominis muscle) before prostatectomy, and look at one year post surgery if patient with several incontinence are the same who have dysfunction (abdominal incompetence) before the surgery.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective and safe treatment for low and intermediate-risk prostate cancer(PCa). However, there is no study that has investigated the effectiveness and safety of SBRT with pelvic radiation and gross target volume(GTV) boost for high-risk prostate cancer patients yet. The investigators designed a phase II clinical study of SBRT with pelvic radiation and GTV boost based on mpMRI in patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
In this study, it is aimed to compare the lesion location, lesion size, local and distant metastases detection rates of Ga68 PSMA PET and Multiparametric Prostate MR imaging tests used in staging in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. The pathologies of the patients who were decided to undergo radical prostatectomy as a treatment will also be compared with the staging tests.
The overarching goal is to prospectively recruit men considering active surveillance for treatment in the MAGIC (MRI And GPS Informing Choices for prostate cancer treatment) Cohort to provide meaningful data on active surveillance in Blacks and in men served in safety net hospitals. Recent studies highlight significant promise for multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate (MRI) and Genomic Prostate Score assay (GPS) as tools to help risk stratify men on active surveillance to identify men likely to harbor undetected aggressive disease in their prostate. Given the risk data provided by these modalities and the low adherence with monitoring common in men served in public hospitals, both tools may improve safety via improved patient selection and patient adherence with monitoring. The downside is that excessive testing may lead to too many false positives and unnecessary treatment. Two hundred men with very low to intermediate risk prostate cancer were randomized into the 2-arm ENACT Clinical trial from 2016-2019 to study the impact of the GPS assay on treatment choice. Overall, 104 men received GPS assay and 96 controls did not receive the assay (a confirmatory test) right after being newly diagnosed with favorable risk prostate cancer. For Aim 1, 222 men will be recruited into the MRI And GPS Informing Choices for prostate cancer treatment (MAGIC) study and they will be given the GPS assay and multi-parametric MRI of the prostate to provide personalized risk data for having aggressive tumors in their prostate. Between the ENACT and MAGIC study, there will be 3 groups of men who will have received both GPS & MRI, GPS alone, or neither test and can compare the impact of having 0,1 or 2 confirmatory tests on patient's adherence to active surveillance monitoring protocols over 18 months. The analyses will elucidate whether 1 or 2 tests are needed to improve adherence to monitoring. Monitoring is vital for detecting tumor progression early and avoiding cancer metastasis and death. In Aim 2, the MAGIC study cohort will be leveraged to determine the accuracy of the Genomic Prostate Score assay and the prostate imaging- reporting and data system (PIRADS) score from the MRI in predicting which tumors will progress in 18 months. Progression is defined as increased Gleason grade group (GG) or change in prostate digital rectal examination findings. This serves two purposes. It will allow doctors and patients to categorize the patient as safe or risky for active surveillance. Secondly, it will allow doctors to identify which men on active surveillance need to be followed with annual prostate biopsies and which men can have their biopsies deferred for 3-5 years to reduce the number of prostate biopsies and their morbidities. Lastly in Aim 3, the participants will rank the importance of these tests among a multitude of clinical, social, financial and interpersonal influences on their cancer treatment choice. By tallying the patient rankings, one can identify the most critical decision making factors that can be used to encourage increased selection of active surveillance.
The diagnostic tools for detecting patients with early prostate cancer are limited due to poor diagnostic performance. The positron emission tomography (PET) combination with the diagnostic radiopharmacy is a non-invasive tool to provide the molecular imaging of the whole body and offer more comprehensive physiological information and then can raise the diagnostic performance. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting pharmaceuticals have been regarded as the most promising diagnostic tool to diagnose patients with prostate cancer. Currently, the 18F-PSMA-1007 as PSMA-targeting 18F-radiolabeled pharmaceuticals have developed and successfully used in patients with intermittent- and high-risk prostate cancer or recurrent prostate cancer. The study aims to understand the diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in different-stage prostate cancer patients by initiating the first multicenter clinical trial of 18F-PSMA-1007 in Taiwan.
The purpose of this study is to learn if the prostatic artery embolization procedure can reduce urinary tract symptoms in patients with enlarged prostates and prostate cancer.
To determine the dose, safety, radiation dosimetry and efficacy of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 in participants with PSMA-expressing metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of da Vinci Single Port (SP) system on the surgery for extraperitoneal approach radical prostatectomy
