Filter by:In this study researcher want to learn more about the overall survival in patients suffering from prostate gland cancer which spread outside the prostate to other parts of the body who received either a novel anti-hormone therapy (NAH) or Radium-223 (Xofigo) after a prior NAH therapy (first line treatment). Additionally the researchers are also interested in the occurrence of bone fractures and other skeletal events. Basis for this study will be the US based Flatiron database which provides access to clinical data for cancer patients.
Firefighters, police, military personnel and pilots are all shown to have a higher incidence of prostate cancer than the general population. A possible explanation for this is that these four groups of employees need regular mandatory health-checkups. If these checkups increase the chances of having a PSA or DRE performed one could expect the workers in question to have a higher probability than the general population of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. If this is the case the four groups should have cancers that are lower grade and have better survival. The investigators wish to examine this by comparing the four groups with a control group made up of all other workers with regards to prognostic factors at the time of diagnosis and survival rates. This will be done by extracting data from the Cancer Registry of Norway, coupled with employment data from Statistics Norway. This study is also a part of a project on cancer in firefighters. If the prostate cancers in firefighters differ significantly from the other three specified groups, this could point to an exposure specific for firefighters, e.g. fire smoke, as an etiologic factor.
The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in Hong Kong, as well as that of recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer, with side effects such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis and cognitive impairment. With the improvement of treatment, the 5-year survival rate of recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer is up to 20%, and therefore increases the chances of developing such side effects. Due to the introduction of next generation sequencing, investigators have more knowledge of the microbiota in our body, particularly the gut microbiota. Different studies have related gut dysbiosis with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. If investigators can show that ADT is leading to gut dysbiosis, this could be a way in preventing or treating the side effects of ADT. This study aims to identify whether ADT in patients with prostate cancer will have different composition in their gut and urine microbiota.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the infectious outcomes of intrarectal povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of needle tip during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. The secondary objective is to evaluate predictive factors of infectious complications after prostate biopsy. Data will be prospectively collected from patients who will undergo prostate biopsy in a single high volume urology center. The patients will be randomized to two different groups: group A - rectal cleansing and disinfection of the needle tip vs group B - controls.
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of ODM-209 and find the dose of ODM-209.
This is a prospective multicentric phase-I-II pilot feasibility study. The main objective is to study early and late side effects of hypofractionated accelerated RT for prostate cancer with FFF (Free Flattened Filter) beam. The schedule will be [ 4 x 9.5 Gy = 38 Gy ] delivered in 5 alternative days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of 4 or more DNA-repair gene defects in a population of men with metastatic Prostate Cancer (PC) and to use the reported DNA-repair gene defects to assess biomarker eligibility for niraparib interventional studies.
This behavioral clinical trial assesses the efficacy of a educational intervention to increase shared decision making about prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening for prostate cancer among African American males. Half of participants will receive a multimedia educational intervention, while the other half will receive usual care.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in France (56,841 cases in 2012). Although the benefits of physical activity (PA) in cancer patients are currently well established in the scientific literature, several studies have shown that this population is not sufficiently active. Strengthen patient adherence to prevention counseling by the physical activity (PA) is emerging as a new challenge for personalized treatment in oncology. In order to encourage the engagement and maintenance in a regular PA of cancer patients, first, their experiences of physical activity (PA) practice should be considered and their initial social representations of the practice considered. Secondarily, it is also important to identify health professionals who retain a key role in defining the framework, objectives and means of action to promote lifestyle changes towards a more active lifestyle. In addition, peer mentoring appears to offer promising perspectives for promoting adherence and long-term maintenance in physical activity (PA) of cancer patients.
In this study, the researchers will examine the effects of a 4-week online mindfulness intervention, compared to a face-to-face mindfulness intervention, to reduce self-reported symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and pain interference in a sample of patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
