Filter by:In local advanced prostate cancer patients with clinically positive metastatic regional lymph node, the optimal treatment is still unanswered. For these patients, radiotherapy combined with hormonal therapy or hormonal therapy alone are recommended. Recently, the reports from NCCB and SEER data showed that radiotherapy combined with hormonal therapy have better survivals than hormonal therapy alone. This randomized phase III trial compare hormonal therapy alone with combined hormone with radiotherapy in clinically pelvic lymph node metastatic prostate cancer.
To assess the feasibility of acquiring an MR scan in the radiotherapy treatment position as part of the patient's radiotherapy pathway and incorporating the data into our radiotherapy planning systems, so that it can be potentially used to reduce healthy tissue exposure to radiation. Subsequently, the protocols and procedures established can be used to put the technique into routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the utility of a validated urine test which predicts the likelihood of high grade prostate cancer on an initial prostate biopsy.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well systematic random biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound image (US) fusion biopsy work in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients with elevated prostate specific antigen. Systematic random biopsy and MRI-US fusion biopsy may work better in improving the accuracy of prostate cancer detection.
This randomized pilot trial studies the effect of comprehensive yoga program (SKY) in reducing stress, pain, and fatigue, and improving psychological well-being in patients with prostate cancer. SKY is one of the most widely used breathing techniques derived from yoga. SKY Yoga may improve quality of life in patients with prostate cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 when given together with docetaxel in treating patients with solid tumors with PTEN or PIK3CB mutations that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 and docetaxel may work better in treating patients with solid tumors.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of avelumab when given in different combinations with utomilumab, anti-OX40 antibody PF-04518600, and radiation therapy in treating patients with malignancies that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, utomilumab, and anti-OX40 antibody PF-04518600, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known how well avelumab works in combination with these other anti-cancer therapies in patients with advanced malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to see if a new diagnostic research agent named 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA can show prostate cancer on a PET/CT scan that cannot be seen on other standard imaging even when the PSA levels are very low.
The prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease the care of which varies according to the status: localized, locally advanced, or in recurrence after local or metastatic treatment. The precise evaluation of the degree of extension of the disease is thus essential because it is going to allow to adapt at best the therapeutic strategy. Contrary to the abdomino-pelvic scanning and to the osseous scintigraphy which(who) are a member(part) of the balance assessment of standard extension of the prostate cancer, the place of the Tomography with broadcast of Positrons to scan (TEP scan) in Choline in the management of patients affected by prostate cancer is not clearly defined in the national and European recommendations. The current marketing authorization ( AMM) is the research for bones localizations in the prostatic cancers at high risk. It indeed seems that this examination is more successful than the standard radiological examinations (bone scintigraphy and abdomino-pelvic scanning) in the detection of the bone metastatic hurts, with a sensibility of about 100 % and a precision of the order of 93 % according to certain studies. The recent data of the literature suggest a quite particular interest at the patients in situation of biochemical recurrence in terms of localization of (or) tumoral site (s). THE AMM however not specifying if this examination has to be made within the framework of the initial balance sheet of extension, at the time of the biochemical second offense or at the known metastatic stage, there is a big variability of the practices according to the centers. The current indications being very ill-assorted, he is interesting being able to estimate the heterogeneousness of the practices of way multicentre, by leading a study observationally retrospective in region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA).
This clinical trial studies how well an educational intervention works in increasing knowledge about prostate cancer in high-risk neighborhoods. Learning about prostate cancer and the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer may increase knowledge about prostate cancer while decreasing anxiety and concerns about prostate cancer screening.
