Filter by:RATIONALE: Vitamin D may be effective in treating patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well 4 different doses of vitamin D works in treating patients with prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Calcitriol may help prostate cancer cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Dexamethasone may help calcitriol work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving calcitriol together with dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy . PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving calcitriol together with dexamethasone works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.
This study is an observational study to see whether anxiety level can be correlated with PSA level under the current practice in the patients of prostate cancer taking hormonal therapy. For assessment of anxiety level BAI(Beck Anxiety Inventory) will be used. The target population for this study is the patients of prostate cancer diagnosed previously and who are taking hormonal therapy with regular follow-up and PSA test. The follow-up duration will be total 6 months with interim visit at 3 month and final visit at 6 month.
To check the radiosensitivity level in individual patients based on their DNA damage level.
To investigate the sensitivity of the [18F]fluoroethylcholine (FEC) Positron-Emission-Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) method in tumour detection and location (side assignment, encapsulation, invasion of the seminal vesicle) and detection of affected lymph nodes, and to compare these with presently used detection procedures (needle biopsy, digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, and pre-therapeutic assessment), with a view to finding out whether the [18F]fluoroethylcholine PET/MRI method is comparable to, or superior to, the established method. Postoperative histology served as the standard of reference.
The present study will investigate the safety, tolerability and spectrum of side effects of AGS-1C4D4. As such, this study will characterize the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and potentially the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AGS-1C4D4 in patients with advanced HRPC.
The aims include: 1. To measure the effect of the three study conditions on Quality of Life (QOL). - CHESS and Cancer Information Mentor will not differ initially (6 weeks) or late in treatment (6 months) in QOL - CHESS +Cancer Information Mentor will have the largest impact on QOL (initially and late in treatment) and will be significantly better than either CHESS or Cancer Information Mentor alone. 2. To measure potential intervening or mediating processes, so that we can determine how CHESS and the Cancer Information Mentor produce associated QOL benefits. 3. To conduct exploratory use analyses examining which types of CHESS content, sequential patterns of content use, or other characteristics of use behavior are associated with greater pretest-posttest improvements in QOL. 4. To conduct a secondary analysis exploring whether men whose partners have actively used CHESS do better than those whose partners did not use CHESS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostate cancer growth can be slowed in patients who receive Androgel® 1% at 10 gram dose.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about how effective 2 chemotherapy drugs carboplatin (Paraplatin) plus docetaxel (Taxotere) in the treatment of patients with anaplastic prostate cancer. Patients who continue to have advanced disease will be switched to etoposide (VePesid) plus cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) to study how effective this second line of chemotherapy is in the treatment of patients iwth anaplastic prostate cancer. The side effects, characteristics of patients who respond, and overall survival will also be studied.
To determine the feasibility and safety of administering YM155 in combination with docetaxel
