Filter by:This study is a multi-center prospective study. Patients who meet the indications for prostate biopsy were included in this study.The study was randomly divided into two groups, one group was transperineal free-hand biopsy; the other group was puncture stent-assisted transperineal prostate biopsy. Exploring the positive rate of puncture stent-assisted transperineal prostate biopsy
Before prostate puncture, the patient's serum was collected for PHI detection, and multi-parameter MRI was performed to obtain the PI-RADS score. The sensitivity and specificity of PHI combined with PI-RADS score in the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer were explored.
The TRANSLATE randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate local anaesthetic transperineal biopsy (LATP) versus transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy, in the evaluation of previously biopsy-naive men being investigated for clinically significant prostate cancer (on the basis of an elevated age-specific PSA, or abnormal digital rectal examination, or MRI-visible lesion). Men under investigation for possible prostate cancer and recruited to TRANSLATE will be randomised to receive either an LATP or TRUS prostate biopsy, with the primary outcome measure being detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (defined as any Gleason pattern 4 disease, i.e. any Gleason Grade Group >=2 disease). Secondary outcome measures include infection, other complications, tolerability, rate of re-biopsy, detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer, and a full health economics evaluation.
Researchers are seeking better ways to treat men who have non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). This type of prostate cancer-nmCRPC- is one that has not spread to other parts of the body yet keeps progressing despite low levels of (the hormone) testosterone. Signs of cancer progression are detected by higher (blood) levels of a protein known as "prostate-specific antigen" (PSA). PSA is made by both normal and cancerous cells in the body. An established treatment that is used to lower the amount of androgen hormones (e.g., testosterone) in the body is known as "Androgen deprivation therapy" (ADT), and all study participants will receive this (if they have not had surgery to remove their testicles). All participants will also receive the study-drug, darolutamide, which is already available for doctors to prescribe to patients with this condition. Darolutamide works by blocking the attachment of androgen hormones to androgen receptors in cancer cells, thereby blocking cancer progression and growth. There has been a previous research study that showed that patients with nmCRPC benefit from the combination of darolutamide plus Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) when compared with placebo plus ADT therapy. Participants from mainland China were not included in the previous study. The present study focuses specifically on Chinese participants with nmCRPC, who will receive both medications- darolutamide plus ADT. Researchers will be using a "marker" of cancer- PSA- to look at how the PSA declines when participants take study treatment. By using the tumor marker PSA, researchers can more quickly identify how study participants are responding to their study treatment. All the participants will also take ADT. During the study, participants will take darolutamide until: (1) their cancer spreads (2) they start another type of cancer treatment (3) they have an adverse event that requires stopping the medication. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events is related to the study treatments. Other reasons for study discontinuation include: (4) a participant takes another type of medication that is not permitted to be taken during this study (5) the patient chooses to leave the trial or (6) the participant dies. Study participants will visit the study site every 12 weeks for the first 3 visits and after visit 3, visit interval will be every 16 weeks during treatment and after stopping treatment (participants may continue to be followed even after stopping treatment). It is anticipated that the whole study will last about 35 months. During the study, doctors will: (1) check the participants' overall health and heart health (2) take blood samples (3) take pictures of the participants' tumors and bones using CT, MRI, and bone scans and (4) ask the participants questions about how they are feeling, what medications they are taking, and about adverse events they might be having.
The researchers are doing this study to find out if stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective treatment approach for people with unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate. The researchers will see whether SBRT can prevent participants' cancer from coming back and/or spreading to other parts of the body. In addition, they will look closely at how safe and effective it is to rely on Decipher test results for determining which patients would benefit from more extensive radiation treatments
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and radical prostatectomy is the most frequent treatment for this disease. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of patients will develop recurrence after surgery, requiring additional salvage radiation. Salvage radiation after recurrence is successful in less than half of these men and most of those die from their disease. Measures to prevent recurrence are an important research priority for prostate cancer patients and their families. Hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation therapy; ADT) is routinely used to treat patients with metastases, but few clinical trials have examined if adjuvant ADT after surgery will prevent cancer recurrence. We aim to address this research oversight and test the hypothesis that for men at high risk of cancer recurrence, 1 year of ADT immediately after surgery will be safe and will significantly improve cancer outcomes.
This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib combined with Abiraterone plus Prednisone in subjects with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who carry deleterious germline or homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations. Olaparib is an oral, highly selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that potently inhibits the activity of deoxyribonucleic acid repair polymerases. Abiraterone acetate (AA) is a prodrug of abiraterone that potently inhibits cytochrome P450c17, a key enzyme in androgen biosynthesis. A total of 30 mHSPC subjects with HRR gene mutations that meet the criteria will be included in the study. Eligible subjects will receive oral Olaparib tablets 300 mg BID, combined with Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg QD plus Prednisone 5 mg, and the study will end when the primary endpoint radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) data maturity reaches 60%. During the treatment and follow-up periods, all subjects will have regular visits to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), prostate-specific antigen response (PSA response rate), prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), radiological objective response rate (ORR) and other indicators will be assessed and calculated.
Rationale: Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) is a minimal invasive focal therapy technique studied worldwide to determine its efficacy. In pilot studies it has shown to be a safe and feasible technique and it has potential to preserve continence and potency over current standard radical therapies. However, (long-term) treatment outcomes of TPLA for PCa remain largely unknown. The aim of this international retrospective registry is to collect and combine data on patients treated TPLA for PCa in order to provide data on safety, feasibility, functional and oncological outcomes. Objective: To assess safety and feasibility of TPLA for PCa, to assess functional and oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa and to determine baseline patient characteristics in a multicentre cohort. Study design: This is an international, retrospective observational registry in which data is recorded of patients who have been treated with TPLA for PCa. Study population: Male patients treated with TPLA for PCa. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this registry is oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa. Secondary endpoints are safety, feasibility and functional outcomes of TPLA for PCa.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare three interventions, two experimental and one standard of care (usual care), to see if the experimental interventions will increase the likelihood of a participant obtaining guideline-concordant genetic testing. Eligible participants will be randomized (assigned) to one of the following interventions: 1) Virtual genetics navigator, a mobile-optimized website, designed by the investigators, that delivers tailored messages and content; 2) two motivational interviewing (MI) telephone calls delivered by trained genetics health coaches; or 3) usual care.
