Filter by:RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Using scintigraphy to plan specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best way to give intensity-modulated radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV prostate cancer.
Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) has been shown to be able to image tissue at a cellular level. Our project will initially evaluated the ability of MPM imaging to distinguish normal bladder urothelium from atypical and malignant urothelium in the ex vivo setting. After development of sufficient criteria, we plan to develop an endoscopic bladder probe that will provide a non-invasive means to image the interior of the bladder at the cellular level, which would provide direct evidence of the presence of tumor without a biopsy. After exhibiting usefulness of MPM imaging for bladder cancer, we will look at other organs beginning with the colon.
RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as flutamide, bicalutamide, leuprolide, buserelin, and goserelin, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving androgen suppression therapy together with radiation therapy is more effective with or without docetaxel in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying androgen suppression therapy, radiation therapy, and docetaxel to see how well they work compared with androgen suppression therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer. CLOSURE: This trial closed to further accrual in November 2009. The study endpoints will not be reached.
The purpose of this study is to review cause of death in patients undergoing prostate brachytherapy at a single institution. Furthermore, we are analyzing patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy and whether or not this contributed to cardiovascular deaths, specifically myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BMS-641988 once daily orally in Japanese patients with castration resistant prostate cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer and to evaluate the effects of this treatment on the quality of life over time.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether LY2181308 in combination with docetaxel is safe and effective treatment for hormone refractory prostate cancer patients.
This is a clinical trial of orally administered Ruxolitinib (INCB018424) in patients whose disease has progressed following 1 prior chemotherapy regimen (not including anti-androgens or ketoconazole) for metastatic, androgen-independent prostate cancer.
This study looks at the relationship in the dose of nolvadex and the incidence of gynaecomastia and also Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) inhibition when co-administered with Casodex. The aim of the study is to assess the optimal dose of nolvadex which will reduce the breast tissue adverse effects without reducing the efficacy of Casodex.
