Filter by:Prostate cancer (PCa) remains one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting men globally. The disease spectrum of PCa ranges from indolent tumors, which may require minimal to no intervention, to aggressive, potentially lethal forms. The complexity of PCa underscores the critical need for precise diagnostics, as early and accurate detection is key to improving patient outcomes and tailoring appropriate treatment strategies. There have been remarkable advancements in biopsy technology. Significant strides in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially with the establishment of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS), have substantially improved the accuracy of PCa detection. The combination of MRI with traditional biopsy methods, including MRI-targeted biopsy (MRI-TBx) and systematic biopsy (SBx), also marks a major advancement in the field. Despite advances in PCa detection, the need for improving diagnostics and in-depth assessment of the latest PBx techniques through extensive, longitudinal studies remains critical. Besides, based on the world health organization (WHO) classification, PCa includes a range of pathological forms beyond the commonly known acinar adenocarcinoma. However, the prevalence and demographic distribution of non-adenocarcinoma types, as well as the characteristics of patients with these rarer forms, remain unclear. Leveraging PBx records spanning over 10 years and involving 10,038 cases, this study aims to shed light on temporal trends in PBx positivity, the evolving clinical profiles of PCa patients, and the differences in clinicopathological characteristics of PCa between Western and Asian populations.
It is a prospective paired-cohort study for diagnostic test evaluation. The study aim to determine the accuracy of AI review and investigate whether AI review could detect MRI visible significant cancer as effective as radiologist review. MRI image of about 102 men recommended for biopsy will be reviewed by an AI model and an experienced radiologist, respectively. AI review (index) and radiologist review (standard) will be blinded to each other, while biopsy urologists will be well-informed of the findings of both AI review and radiologist review and make personalized biopsy plan by combining both findings. The pathological results of MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy (reference) will serve as the gold standard to assess the diagnostic accuracy.
This study is a prospective cohort study to delineate the infective outcomes and incidence after transperineal prostate biopsy with no antibiotic prophylaxis, compared to the existing data on outcomes on patients receiving transperineal prostate biopsy with antibiotic prophylaxis.
In this prospective, multi-center cohort study, the tolerability and quality of life during ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) of early stage prostate cancer is surveyed at several institutions in Germany. Radiotherapy is delivered with by an online-adaptive RT device (Varian Ethos), which is able to correct daily variations in anatomy and to adjust the irradiation plan accordingly. A digital patient questionnaire is used to asses quality of life longitudinally. Quality of life (QoL) and toxicity profiles will be correlated with planning parameters and compared to retrospective cohorts of patients who underwent normofractionated RT or moderately hypofractionated RT, respectively.
To qualitatively determine the imaging performance of PET-CT imaging subsystem of the RefleXion X1 System Device in patients undergoing standard-of-care (SOC) [68Ga]-PSMA-11 PET-CT using Illuccix on the same day.
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of EPI-7386 in combination with Enzalutamide on participants diagnosed with prostate cancer. The main goals of this study are to evaluate the antitumor activity of EPI-7386 in combination with enzalutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of EPI-7386 when dosed in combination with enzalutamide. Participants will will take the study drug, EPI-7360, twice a day by mouth and enzalutamide once a day by mouth, alongside clinic visits every two weeks.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of a chemotherapy drug, carboplatin, along with the radioligand treatment, 177Lu-PSMA-617, is safe in treating prostate cancer and whether the combination is effective in shrinking or preventing growth of prostate cancer. The names of the study drugs used in this research study are: - Carboplatin (A type of chemotherapy) - 177Lu-PSMA-617 (A type of radioligand therapy)
This study is an international multicentre RCT to compare the linically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection of cognitive-guided and MRI-USG guided biopsies in men with suspicious MRI lesion.
This is a Single-center, diagnostic open-label prospective, pilot study in a total of 10 patients affected by Prostate cancer (PCa) with a risk of lymph node invasion (LNI) higher than 5% and candidates for a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with an extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) . The aim of the trial is to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy and clinical value of a novel high-resolution perioperative PET-CT-scan for intraoperative margin and lymph node invasion assessment, after 18F-PSMA injection, using histopathology as the gold standard.
The goal of this intervention study is for patients on active surveillance for prostate cancer, to demonstrate that use of regular MRI scans is better able to detect cancer progression over 5 years compared to the current NICE defined strategy. Research Question P - In patients who are on active surveillance for low to medium risk prostate cancer, I - is the use of regular MRI scans C - compared to current NICE defined standard of care, O - better at detecting cancer progression with less cost to the NHS (fewer PSA tests, biopsies and clinic visits)? Patients will be allocated in a 1.1 ratio to either MRI scans or the current NICE defined standard. Randomisation will be blocked (random block size) and stratified by MRI visibility of lesions (3 categories [ no visible lesion, diffuse changes, discrete visible lesion]), cancer Grade Group (GG1, GG2) and time since diagnosis. This study will not be blinded to patients or physicians.
