Filter by:The commercialization of MRI fusion biopsies has resulted in a dramatic increase in the use of MRI imaging for prostate cancer. How best to use MRI in the initial prostate biopsy setting given the availability of validated prostate cancer early detection markers is uncertain.This study will allow investigators to determine if prostate MRI is superior to validated panel of laboratory biomarkers (e.g. PCA3, PSA and TMPRSS2:ERG) in the initial biopsy setting.
This study will replicate/validate the risk prediction model developed for the Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation (CEASAR) study in a more diverse patient population to assess generalizability of the model as well as evaluate the relative contribution of the Decipher Prostate Cancer Test and ProstateNext Test from Ambry Genetics, to the risk prediction model for estimating treatment outcomes, and thereby improve personalization of treatment options.
This is a prospective study to determine if the use of curcumin randomized against placebo will reduce cancer progression in patients with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance.
Local cytoreductive treatments for men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer in addition to standard of care treatment
According to the latest data from the China National Cancer Center, prostate cancer has become the most common tumor in the urinary system since 2008. However, conventional imaging techniques including transrectal ultrasound , computed tomography and bone scintigraphy are not sensitive or specific. About 40% of resectable lesions cannot be detected by these techniques. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Recently, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a new novel positron tracer has shown to be effective to detect primary lesions, recurrent and metastatic lesions of prostate cancer. In this prospective study, the investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipments, integrated PET/MR, and PET/CT with prostate cancer-specific imaging agent 68Ga-PSMA and conventional imaging agent [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose to image patients with or suspected of prostate cancer, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer biochemical recurrence (BCR) occurs in 20-50% of patients following radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. Due to significant risk of side effects and uncertainty about the benefits, physicians and patients are seeking alternatives to delay androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for non-metastatic BCR. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCn3), mainly found in seafood and fatty fish, have beneficial effects against prostate cancer in pre-clinical experimental studies and randomized clinical trials of intermediate prostate cancer outcomes. The current observational evidence also supports testing LCn3 in prostate cancer patients. LCn3 have beneficial effects on inflammation, cardiovascular, psychological, and other outcomes, contrasting sharply with ADT-associated side effects. Investigators propose to conduct a pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine the effects over one year of an innovative LCn3 supplement (5g of omega-3-rich fish oil daily, including 4g of monoglycerides eicosapentaenoic acid (MAG-EPA)) in 40 men experiencing BCR or prostate cancer progression after a curative treatment. This project proposes a simple intervention by dietary supplementation that could eventually help to prevent or delay ADT-related side effects and thus could contribute to diminish the heavy individual and societal burden of prostate cancer. The clinical data generated by this pilot trial will serve as basis for a larger-scale phase II clinical trial.
Pembrolizumab will be administered at a dose of 200 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. Enzalutamide will be administered at dose of 160 mg orally every day. All patients will be required to have at least one high-risk criteria.
This study will be performed in robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy patients in Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Monoblock Operating Room. Since robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a surgical procedure which requires long-term mechanical ventilation, excessive trendelenburg position (30-45 °) and pneumoperitoneum; these interventions may lead to respiratory complications such as ventilation difficulty and aeration loss in patients. Nowadays, lung ultrasonography has been used in anesthesia practice and intensive care units in order to determine lung aeration loss. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the possible aeration loss in lung parenchyma during pressure controlled ventilation and volume controlled ventilation which are frequently used in anesthesia practice in patients undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy.
The initial staging of locally advanced prostate cancer is made with Computed Tomography scan (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and bone scan (BS). For this type of cancer, reference treatment is radiotherapy combined with hormone therapy. The added value of MRI in the delineation of volumes for radiotherapy is known, especially for the definition of extra-prostatic extensions and prostatic apex. However, its regular use is difficult. Indeed, acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging parameters for diagnostic are not adapted to be fused with the planning Computed Tomography. The literature shows that Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography with Fluorocholine is better in terms of diagnostic performance compared to bone scan for bone metastases and to pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging for nodal extension. It would therefore improve staging for these patients with a high risk of locoregional and metastatic invasion even if its use is currently not recommended in the initial staging. Thanks to Magnetic Resonance Imaging acquisition parameters adapted to Radiotherapy and additional functional information, an acquisition in tri-modality Positron Emission Tomography/computed Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging could have an impact on the volumes definition for radiotherapy or even on the therapeutic strategy. The aim of the study is to evaluate the volume modifications obtained on the trimodality evaluation, compared to the standard initial staging (geometric comparison). In addition, it would be a preliminary study for a project using Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in trimodality, and / or for a therapeutic interventional study.
The purpose of this phase II trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in improving the symptoms of androgen deficiency and health-related quality of life in men with prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy.
