Filter by:This is a single-arm pilot study to evaluate the use of web-based video conferencing as a method of exercise training delivery. This study will include 10 female breast cancer survivors and 10 male prostate cancer survivors. For the first 12 weeks on study (Part 1), participants will train with an exercise physiologist (EP) for 150 minutes/week. This training will be delivered by web-based video conferencing. For the next 12 weeks (Part 2), participants will be instructed to do patient-directed exercise.
Study to gather information about the optimal placement of Ra-223 in the order of different treatments in terms of the effect on patients and in terms of the use of healthcare services for the treatment of Canadian patients with prostate gland cancer which spread to other parts of the body. In order to collect this information real world data from prostate gland cancer patients from four Canadian administrative databases will be analyzed. Data collected from patients treated with their 2nd line of life-prolonging therapy for Non-Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) initiated from 01 Jan 2012 to 31 Dec 2017. For patients included in the study, all available data from the beginning for their record until death, lost to follow-up or database cut-off will be included. The index date is the date of initiation of the 2nd line life-prolonging therapy for mCRPC.
Although brachytherapy toxicity data on erectile dysfunction, urethral dysfunction and bladder and bowel impact has been collected for a number of years, there is limited information on its effect on male fertility. This study aims to investigate the effect of brachytherapy on fertility
This trial is comparing the functional and oncological outcomes in treating men with prostate cancer between high-frequency irreversible electroporation and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
This research is studying two experimental drugs, abemaciclib and atezolizumab, alone and in combination with each other, to learn about the safety and effectiveness of these treatments and their side effects. This is an investigational study treatment for adult men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressive disease despite previous treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). One group of men (men without a genetic mutation called "CDK12 loss") will receive abemaciclib therapy alone. Two other groups of men (men with CDK12 loss in one group and men without CDK12 loss in the other) will receive the combination of abemaciclib and atezolizumab. Another group of men with CDK12 loss will receive atezolizumab therapy alone.
Significant advances in molecular nuclear medicine imaging in prostate cancer have been achieved in recent years. In particular, the introduction of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) -based tracers has significantly influenced diagnostic imaging of prostate. If cancer recurs after surgical removal of the prostate, targeted PSMA PET (positron emission tomography) can detect metastases even at very low PSA (prostate-specific Antigen) values. This increasingly allows individualized specific therapy of patients with prostate cancer recurrence. PSMA PET has now been included in national and international guidelines for the diagnosis of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Especially in patients in good general condition, with potentially longer life expectancy and early localized PSA recurrence, advances in molecular imaging are increasingly turning local therapy concepts into focus. Here both, radiotherapeutic (salvage radiotherapy of the lymphatic drainage) and surgical interventions (salvage lymph node dissection = removal of the pelvic lymph nodes) are offered on an individual basis. These regional therapies mainly aim to achieve a delay of further progression of the prostate cancer disease, and thus delay the initiation of palliative, sustained drug therapy. Previous standard or common practice at salvage lymph node dissection is the removal on both sides of the pelvic lymph nodes even if only one-sided suspicious lymph nodes are detected on imaging. Although the complications of salvage lymph node dissection are usually minor and manageable, they can still lead to impaired lymphatic drainage, leg edema, lymphocele formation or other surgical complications. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether a unilateral pelvic lymph node dissection on the side of conspicuous PSMA PET is sufficient and a dissection on the contralateral side can be dispensed without negatively impacting oncological outcomes and thereby sparing the patient the potential additional complications of a bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection.
This is a randomized controlled and non-inferiority trial in comparison of the cognitive fusion targeted biopsy between the software-based fusion targeted biopsy in the detection rate of clinically significant cancer in men suspected to have a PCa.
Currently, lymph node dissection is standard of care during prostatectomy of intermediate risk tumors at the Martini Clinic. It allows the assessment of possible but unlikely lymph nodes metastases. In case of lymph node metastasis, depending on the number of affected lymph nodes, an adjuvant radiation with or without additional hormone therapy may be discussed in order to stop or delay further progression of the disease. Since the procedure carries additional risks, it is controversial. The risks include prolonged surgery duration, injury of vessels and nerves, as well as disorders of lymphatic circulation after surgery. Moreover, formation of lymphoceles (accumulation of lymph fluid in the tissue) are common, which may result in soft tissue swelling, thrombosis, inflammation and additional surgical procedures. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether the removal of the lymph nodes during prostatectomy positively influences the course of the disease in patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer, or if the lymph node dissection does not have any influence on the recurrence of the disease and therefore further therapies. In this case, the omission of lymph node dissection may avoid an unnecessary expansion of the operation and the potentially associated side effects linked to it. This is particularly of interest considering the rapidly advancing technical possibilities, both in imaging and in the treatment of prostate cancer, since this enables an earlier and more individual intervention in the case of recurrence.
Eligible patients have prostate cancer that was treated with surgery or radiation therapy for localized disease and there is evidence of biochemical recurrence and/or metastases on conventional imaging.The objective of this study is to assess the performance in detection of prostate cancer of a new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer for prostate cancer ([18F]-DCFPyl) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results of tracer uptake and MRI image features as whole body PET/MRI and dedicated pelvic/prostate PET/MRI, alone and together, will be correlated and compared to detection of lesions on conventional imaging modalities. Additionally, if the patient undergoes a biopsy as standard of care, image features will correlate directly with histopathological findings.Validation of this radiotracer can potentially lead to its use as a standard of care for future imaging and improve diagnosis and treatment guidance.This drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is therefore considered experimental.There will be 20 subjects enrolled in this study; all of these patients will be enrolled at Stony Brook University Medical Center.
This is a randomized study aiming to assess the feasibility of a phase II randomized controlled trial of different high-intensity training interventions and usual care (UC) in men with prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing active surveillance (AS).
