This feasibility exploratory study objective is to assess the ability of combined MRI BOLD and 18F-MISO PET imaging to visualize tumor hypoxia compare to histological results obtained after radical prostatectomy in order to, in time, be able to identify patient with bad prognostic and to offer them the best therapeutic strategy.
Ruxolitinib will be dispensed to patients candidate to prostatectomy immediately after histological diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma. The treatment will be given for 28 days followed by a prostatectomy thereafter. Tumor material and blood samples will be analysed before, during and after the treatment with Ruxolitinib.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of nutrition and exercise counseling program for reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome in prostate cancer patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy.
A pilot study testing the effect of an in-visit English and Spanish language decision aid for Hispanic-Latino men using best practices of cultural tailoring to be used in urology practice. Subjects will be followed for approximately 1 year during standard care in-clinic office visits. Study results and subject surveys will be analyzed to determine clinical utility of the tool.
MRI is being increasingly relied upon for detection, staging and management of prostate cancer. In this study patients with risk of prostate cancer will be recommended to have a pelvic MRI prior to the standard biopsy of the prostate and standard treatment of any detected prostate cancer. The results of the MRI will be compared to standard diagnosis techniques to see if cancer can be more accurately detected.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about biomarker changes in patients who have primary prostate cancer after receiving Darzalex (daratumumab) and then have a prostatectomy (the surgical removal of the prostate) as part of their standard care. Biomarkers are found in the blood/tissue and may be related to your reaction to the study drug.
The main objective of the study is to determine the intra-prostatic concentration of sexual steroids when castration resistance appears in castration-resistant prostate cancer patients compared to patients naif of hormonal treatment
Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is a common disease in urology among old men. If BPH symptom cannot be controlled by drugs, then transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), is recommended. Although the procedure is quit safe, these old men often take anticoagulants and antiplatelets to control cardiovascular diseases, which arose some concerns for their bleeding risk. The management of anticoagulation in patients undergoing surgical procedures is challenging because interrupting anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. At the same time, surgery and invasive procedures have associated bleeding risks that are increased by the anticoagulant administration. Now, the recommendation about anticoagulants and antiplatelets discontinuation had no concrete evidence, especially in TURP. Furthermore, there is no relative studies done in Taiwan population, which calls for further investigation.
This study is open to men who have biochemical recurrence (BCR, increased PSA) following local treatment of their prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a standard treatment option, but is only effective for 16-24 months and has a number of side effects that impact quality of life. These side effects may include fatigue, hot flushing, loss of sex drive, brain fog, decreased bone mineral density, loss of muscle mass, mild anemia (low levels of red blood cells that can make people feel tired and weak), diabetes (low blood sugar), heart disease, metabolic syndromes (sometimes called "pre-diabetes" and includes obesity, increased blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood), and risk of fractures. An alternative to continuous ADT is intermittent administration, where patients are given "breaks" from ADT to let their testosterone levels return to baseline. There are a number of potential benefits to intermittent hormone therapy (IHT): (1) longer time to the development of resistance; (2) improved patient quality of life owing to recovery from adverse effects, particularly sexual function; and (3) substantial cost savings owing to less time spent receiving medication. Leuprolide is the name of the ADT / IHT drug. Apalutamide is an investigational drug, which means it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is an antitumor drug, taken by mouth. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of Apalutamide to extend the time between the first two injections of leuprolide and improve quality of life. This study will also look at the safety of Apalutamide and the effects that Apalutamide has on prostate cancer. Men will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to receive: - Group A: Leuprolide + Apalutamide or - Group B: Leuprolide only (until second leuprolide injection), then leuprolide + Apalutamide 45 men will be in Group A and 21 men will be in Group B. Leuprolide is given as an intramuscular shot that lasts for 3 months intermittently and Apalutamide is taken by mouth (4 tablets) daily. Each cycle is 4 weeks long. Intermittent treatment with Apalutamide + leuprolide will continue until continuous leuprolide is needed to maintain undetectable PSA levels (i.e., PSA levels rise above undetectable level unless leuprolide is given without pause, every 3 months).
