Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect information that may help the researchers understand the relationship between prostate cancer survivors' experiences of cancer-related cognitive dysfunction (CRCD) and their other conditions (co-morbid factors), including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The researchers will also find out how additional things may contribute to CRCD, including social factors, the characteristics of participants' prostate cancer, and the type of cancer treatment or other medications they received.
The purpose of this study is to test whether acupuncture can improve nocturia in prostate cancer survivors. This is the first time acupuncture is being studied for nocturia in prostate cancer survivors. Researchers will see if acupuncture is a practical treatment option for prostate cancer survivors with nocturia. The study will also look at the effect acupuncture has on nocturia and other symptoms prostate cancer survivors experience such as insomnia, hot flashes, anxiety, depression, tiredness (fatigue), sexual dysfunction, and cognitive (mental) difficulties.
The investigators will collect biosamples of patient blood and tumour tissue for further immunological analysis of blood cell subpopulations, immunosupressive factors concentration, HLA expression an lymphocytes and tumour tissue, and and cancer testis antigenes expression on tumour cells, as well as clinical data on patient's stage, therapy, response and demographics. Possible prognostic and predictive dynamic biomarkers will be discovered for individualisation of treatment strategies
PSMA-PET/CT response measurements after LHRH agonist and upfront enzalutamide therapy in men diagnosed with de novo metastasized hormonal sensitive prostate cancer.
The goal of this study is to establish the value of Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) positivity in predicting post-RP treatment failure, including BCR and new lesions detected by cancer imaging. We plan to recruit participants who will undergo Radical Prostatectomy (RP). Participants will have their blood samples taken just before surgery and 3 months after the surgery to test for CTCs. Then participants will be followed-up for cancer progression information at 3 month intervals for the first year then yearly intervals after that. Their PSA will be observed over time.
This study will establish the preferred dose of lisinopril in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing radiation treatment. This study will also evaluate the effect of lisinopril on urinary symptoms and the impact of lisinopril on biomarkers and their association with urinary symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a radioactive diagnostic study drug, which is called Gallium-68 Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen ([Ga-68]PSMA) for detection of bone metastasis in patients with prostate cancer. For imaging the investigators will use a FDA approved imaging technology, digital Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT). The investigators would like to know if digital PET/CT using [Ga-68]PSMA provides accurate information about the extent of bone metastases. Therefore, the investigators will compare[Ga-68]PSMA PET/CT with Flourine-18 [F-18] Sodium Fluoride (NaF), which is a high resolution bone scan. [F-18]NaF is FDA approved and the reference standard for evaluating the presence of bone metastases.[Ga-68]PSMA is an investigational (experimental) drug that works by binding to Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen, which is overexpressed in prostate cancer. [Ga-68]PSMA is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at University Hospitals. However, FDA approval has been obtained for this study protocol by an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.
This is a national-level research study of urologists. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical evaluation and management (drug, procedures, counseling and other) of a subset of common patient care indications.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of four of the nowadays most established primary treatments for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and real-time brachytherapy) at short-, mid- and long-term follow-up. The primary aim is assessing the impact of treatments' side effects on patient's quality of life. As secondary objectives, biochemical disease-free survival, overall survival, and prostate cancer-specific survival will also be assessed.
In recent years, the clinical research of immunotherapy including PD-1 antibody and CD3 bispecific antibody in prostate cancer has been increasing day by day. The comparison with the analysis results of cancer tissues of advanced patients has important guiding significance for the application of these new treatment methods. In a retrospective study, investigators plan to perform multi-omics analysis (including whole exome, RNAseq), immune cell characterization, and biopsy samples from prostate cancer primary biopsy, ADT neoadjuvant, and CRPC biopsy samples in the biobank. Protein and prostate cancer-specific antigen expression were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The following questions are answered by comparing samples from different treatment stages in early and advanced stages: 1. Whether the immune environment becomes "cold" in the advanced stage; 2. Which immune cell populations have changed significantly; 3. Is the inhibitory immune microenvironment related to genes Mutations or suppressive immune cell populations.
