Filter by:With functional imaging development, it becomes possible to increase radiation dose to radioresistant areas (located inside tumor volume) using radiotherapy dose-painting. This strategy is particularly suitable for prostate cancer where tumor hypoxia plays a major role in the resistance of these tumors to radiation. In order to develop intratumoral hypoxia targeting by radiotherapy dose-painting areas, we should characterize changes in hypoxia before treatment and during radiotherapy. - If hypoxia does not change during radiotherapy, radiotherapy dose-painting strategy by an "integrated" boost is performed. - If hypoxia varied (increasing or incomplete regression), a "final" boost strategy of radiotherapy dose-painting(IMRT, stereotactic brachytherapy or high dose rate) after a first fractionated IMRT could be considered. This study should show that PET imaging with fluoromisonidazole (18F-MISO) is an available tool to physicians in assessing tumor hypoxia.
This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of giving a higher dose to the part of the prostate which contains the cancer while giving a standard radiation dose to the entire prostate. The investigators have hypothesized that this treatment technique will effectively control the prostate cancer while minimizing the side effects.
This phase II trial studies how well itraconazole works in treating patients with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer. Itraconazole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well degarelix acetate before and during radiation therapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as degarelix acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving degarelix acetate together with radiation therapy may work better in treating prostate cancer.
Phase 2 hypofractionation study usion proton beam therapy for prostate adenocarcinoma
The investigators will assess the incidence of Overactive Bladder/Detrusor Overactivity (OAB/DO) post-operatively in patients post robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and to investigate whether fesoterodine will alter the incidence of OAB/DO in these patients. Additionally, the correlation between OAB symptoms and urodynamic DO will be analyzed.
Positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) may help find local or distant metastases from prostate cancer. This clinical trial is studying how this imaging test may help influence the choice and extent of initial treatments, and subsequent treatments.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well tivantinib works compared to placebo in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Tivantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin in treating patients with previously treated prostate cancer that has spread to other areas of the body and does not respond to treatment with hormones. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether giving cabazitaxel alone or with carboplatin is more effective in treating prostate cancer.
1. Delivery of directed hypofractionated targeted (HT) radiotherapy (RT) tumor boost to the dominant tumor lesion in the prostate as identified by multiparametric MRI will increase tumor eradication from the prostate. 2. Biomarker expression levels differ in the multiparametric MRI defined regions at high risk of harboring tumors that determine outcome. 3. 10-15% of men undergoing RT have Circulating DNA or tumor cells (CTC) that are related to an adverse treatment outcome. 4. Quality of life will not differ significantly between the treatment arms. 5. Prostate cancer-related anxiety will be reduced in the HTIMRT arm, because the patients will be aware that the dominant tumor will be targeted with higher radiation dose.
