Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the detection rate and characteristics of prostate cancer among males with PSA values between 2.5 and 4.0 ng/mL in Nanjing, meanwhile, to access the effectiveness of conducting multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) after PSA assay.
The current study is a prospective, interventional, randomized, treatment-controlled study, evaluating the use of Meditation with a Mantra (MM) to decrease anxiety levels and improve Quality of Life (QOL) in prostate cancer patients receiving radiation treatment. The study will be conducted across 6 radiation treatment sessions in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, Stage 1 to 3A, and men with recurrent prostate cancer. Patients will receive six radiation sessions with usual care with or without the addition of MM. MM Group patients will be given a log at the beginning of the study to record how long they are meditating and if they found meditation beneficial. The General Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7) is a validated tool and will be used to assess anxiety in all participants. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate, Version 4 (FACT-P) is a validated measure of QOL in prostate cancer patients and will be used to assess QOL in all participants. A one month follow up phone call will determine if the patients are continuing to use the MM and if they found the practice of MM useful not only in their radiation treatment sessions but in their everyday lives.
to compare the efficacy of HIFU treatment with standard treatment in two situations: 1. as first-line cancer treatment, HIFU is compared to radical prostatectomy. 2. for patients with recurrence after external beam radiotherapy, HIFU treatment is compared to radical prostatectomy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of Magnetic-Resonance(MR)-ultrasound image fusion-guided transrectal-based focal laser ablation (FLA) of prostate cancer using the Orion System, an investigational laser-based interstitial irradiation/thermal soft-tissue ablation system. Safety and feasibility will be determined by analyzing the number, type, and severity of adverse events.
The investigators are conducting a prospective, randomized trial to investigate whether patients randomized to receive an augmented bladder neck reconstruction (aBNR) at the time of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy experience improved urinary function post-operatively compared to patients who undergo prostatectomy with a standard BNR. An aBNR here consists of the autologous medial umbilical ligament sling as well as a bladder neck intussusception stitch. The standard BNR group will receive the intussusception stitch only.
Robotic prostatectomy is a surgery for treating localized prostate cancer. The ARssist system is a novel augmented reality system designed for the assistant surgeon, allowing delivery of augmented reality information via Microsoft HoloLens 2 (a head mount display developed by Microsoft) to better delineate the 3-D operative environment and enable better visualization. To date, there is no prospective study on the clinical performance and utilization of the ARssist system. This study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of the ARssist system during robotic surgery with the da Vinci Xi system.
The overall aim of this project is to test the hypothesis that the addition of ADT to metastasis-directed radiotherapy (MDRT) in well-selected PCa patients with oligo-metastatic disease prolongs the metastases progression-free survival (MPFS) compared to MDRT alone.
The purpose of this study is to see whether immunotherapy with BMS-986218 added to degarelix (which suppresses testosterone) given prior to surgery can decrease the chance that cancer will come back compared to degarelix alone. People who usually have this type of prostate cancer usually do not receive any additional therapy prior to surgery. Approximately 24 individuals will be asked to participate in this study.
This randomized double-blinded Phase II clinical trial will evaluate the bioavailability, safety, effectiveness and validate the mechanism by which a standardized formulation of whole Green Tea Catechin, (Sunphenon® 90D) containing 405 mgs vs. Placebo, administered for 24 months in a cohort of men with low to intermediate grade prostate managed on active surveillance
The study is a prospective, single arm phase I/II study. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of 111In-PSMA I&T radio guided surgery in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who are highly suspected of having one or more pelvic lymph node metastases based on pre-operative imaging. Patients with prostate cancer who have a high risk of lymph node metastases based on PSMA PET/CT and scheduled for robot-assisted PLND (with or without prostatectomy) will be recruited. Eligible patients will receive an additional ferumoxtran-10 enhanced MRI to complement pre-operative imaging. Twenty-four hours before surgery, patients will receive the radiolabelled PSMA tracer. Pelvic Lymph node dissections are carried out according to standard of care procedures. During surgery, the surgeon will be provided with a gamma-probe to detect PSMA expressing lymph nodes in vivo. Dissected samples will be systematically assessed on tracer accumulation using the gamma-probe ex vivo. After surgery, the samples will be scanned in the small animal SPECT/CT and 7T-MRI. After scanning, samples will be presented to pathologists for pathological analysis according to standard of care including staining for PSMA expression. At 3 months after surgery, patients will undergo a PSMA-PET/CT. Up until one year after surgery patients will be followed according to standard of care-guidelines by 3-monthly serum-PSA measurements.
