View clinical trials related to Stage IIB Prostate Cancer.
Filter by:This study tests four different methods of educating patients about follow-up care (NCI facing forward, brochure, EXCELS website alone, EXCELS health coaching alone and EXCELS website & health coaching combination) after cancer treatment ends. While it is known that patients need information to guide follow-up it remains unknown how to best provide this in primary care.
This pilot research trial studies the collection of serum samples in studying emotional stress in patients with prostate cancer. Studying serum samples from patients with prostate cancer in the laboratory may help doctors determine if levels of epinephrine and cortisol, substances the body makes when stressed, rise or fall with how patients are feeling and/or if those levels are related to clinical information related to prostate cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well decision aids work in improving knowledge in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Decision aids may improve patients' knowledge of their condition and options for treatment, and may also help when talking with their doctor.
This pilot phase I trial studies copper Cu 64 TP3805 (Cu-64-TP3805) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in detecting cancer in patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery to remove the entire prostate and some of the tissue around it (radical prostatectomy). Many patients with benign lesions must undergo biopsy to test the lesion. Cu-64-TP3805 is a radioactive substance that attaches to cancer cells but not normal cells. PET/CT uses a scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the radioactive substance is lighting up. Using Cu-64-TP3805 PET/CT scans and comparing them with cancer tissue obtained from surgery may help doctors learn whether Cu-64-TP3805 PET/CT can accurately detect prostate lesions and determine whether they are cancerous or benign, which may minimize the need for prostate biopsies.
This randomized pilot phase I trial studies how well sargramostim after cryotherapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer. Biological therapies, such as sargramostim, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy, kills tumor cells by freezing them. Giving sargramostim after cryotherapy may work better in treating prostate cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in staging patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. New imaging techniques, such as diffusion-weighted MRI, may be a less invasive way of predicting the stage and grade of prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies phenelzine sulfate in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and has come back. Phenelzine sulfate is a type of antidepressant that works by decreasing the amount of a protein called monoamine oxidase (MAO). MAO drugs may have an anticancer effect in prostate cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided focal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
This randomized pilot clinical trial compares tangerine and red tomato juice in treating patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery. A diet high in lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may help prevent normal cells from transforming into cancer cells in patients with prostate cancer.
This clinical trial studies diffuse optical imaging with indocyanine green solution in imaging pelvic lymph nodes in patients with stage II prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Indocyanine green solution is a special dye that can help doctors see the lymph nodes and blood vessels during surgery when visualized under diffuse optical imaging. Indocyanine green solution may improve the ability to detect lymph nodes and may lead to improved accuracy of lymph node removal.
