Filter by:Taxane neuropathy is a common and long-term side effect of long-term morbidity in patients surviving cancer. No preventive or symptomatic treatment has been shown to be effective. Its pathophysiology is poorly known and probably multifactorial. A possible mechanism would be mediated by the activation of the SK3 calcium channel: a retrospective study carried out at the University Hospital of Tours (Carina RUA) found a significant association between the number of CAG triplets in the KCNN3 gene coding for the SK3 channel and the appearance of a taxane neuropathy.
The objective of the study is to evaluate 68Ga PSMA 11 PET/MRI and 68Ga RM2 PET/MRI for biopsy guidance in patients with suspected prostate cancer.
The EMPOWeR study is proposed as a cohort study with longitudinal follow-up to determine rates of genetic mutations among men with or at-risk for prostate cancer to address the various facets of genetic education and counseling for optimized genetic assessment and wellness of men. The results will inform practice guidelines and future studies for maximal impact of genetic evaluation of men for inherited prostate cancer.
The investigators are imaging patients with prostate cancer using a new Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging agent (Ga-68-PSMA-11) in order to evaluate its ability to detect prostate cancer.
In this study, the investigators intend to validate 18F-DCFPyL test-retest reproducibility in metastatic lesions, in order to investigate whether it serves as a reliable response assessment tool, both to interpret existing studies and to design future longitudinal trials.
A phase 1 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen half-life extended bispecific T-cell engager acapatamab in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
The Be-RALP database is Belgian prospective multicenter database governed by the Belgian cancer registry. This database investigates the status after robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in prostate cancer patients. It was established by a collaboration between the Belgian association of Urology (BAU), the National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (NIHDI) and the Belgian cancer registry. Between 2009 and 2016, 9235 patients were included in this patient registry. The studied outcomes covered quality of life measures as well as variables covering urinary and erectile function.
Prostate biopsy was offered to 47 consecutive patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) over 4 ng/dl or suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE) of whom 16 had undergone a biopsy. Comprehensive validated questionnaires at TIME 0 (pre-biopsy), TIME 1 (before diagnosis, 20 days after biopsy) and TIME 2 (after diagnosis, 40 days after biopsy) accessed patients' erectile (IIEF-5) and voiding (IPSS) functions, Beck scales measured anxiety (BAI), hopelessness (BHS) and depression (BDI), added to the emotional thermometers including five visual analog scales for distress, anxiety, depression, anger and need for help. Mann-Whitney or Friedman tests were obtained among times and studied variables.
This study evaluates whether exercise can reduce treatment-related adverse effects in prostate cancer patients initiating androgen deprivation therapy. Half of recruited participants completed a 3-month exercise intervention, while the other half did not perform any supervised exercise. It was anticipated that exercise would have a positive effect on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life.
This study compares micro-ultrasound image targeted prostate biopsy with multi-parametric MRI targeted biopsy in men indicated for prostate biopsy due to suspicion of prostate cancer. Both imaging techniques will be applied to each subject and compared, along with systematic biopsy.
