Filter by:Background: PROMISE criteria have been defined for standardized reporting of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET whole-body stage of prostate cancer. PSMA PET disease extent by PROMISE has been associated with oncologic outcome. Need: Improved prognostication across various stages of prostate cancer is needed for management guidance and study design. Aim: 1. To assess the prognostic value of PSMA PET 2. To compare the prognostic value of PSMA PET with clinical prognostic scores in patients with prostate cancer at various disease stages Inclusion: - Adult patients with - biopsy/histo proven prostate cancer who - underwent PSMA PET (any type) - for staging or re-staging at any stage and who - have at least 3-year overall survival follow-up data available will be included consecutively. Exclusion: - Patients with neuroendocrine prostate cancer - Patients with metastasized or disseminated malignancy other than prostate cancer
There is an increasing trend in the use of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy or cystectomy (RARPC). Preventing lung atelectasis without inducing overdistention of the lung is challenging. Many studies tried to optimize PEEP titration by using methods such as dead space fraction guided and static pulmonary compliance directed techniques, or by using electrical impedance tomography. However, the use of these methods is limited by inaccuracy and the need for sophisticated devices. Bedside Lung ultrasound is fast, easy and economic technique that is gaining interest in the operating room. Ultrasound-guided PEEP titration has been used in bariatric surgeries (different position and usually shorter procedure time) and proved effective in improving oxygenation, compliance and reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary atelectasis and hypoxia without causing hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative individualized lung ultrasound-guided stepwise PEEP optimization in patients undergoing RARPC on oxygenation, intraoperative and early postoperative pulmonary complications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy with standard of care (SOC) in de novo poly-metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (de novo pmHSPC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To explore the clinical benefit and safety of systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy for patients with de novo pmHSPC. 2. To explore the characteristics of the subgroup of patients who could benefit more from the above treatment. 3. To explore the relationship between stage efficacy and clinical prognosis. 4. To explore the correlation between molecular imaging such as PSMA-PET/CT and its changes with treatment efficacy. Participants will undergo systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy. Researchers will compare systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy with SOC to see the pros and cons of the two strategies.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rezvilutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy(ADT) and standard salvage radiation therapy(SRT) or SRT combination with ADT in prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate-specific antigen(PSA) persistence after radical prostatectomy(RP).
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of a chemotherapy drug, carboplatin, along with the radioligand treatment, 177Lu-PSMA-617, is safe in treating prostate cancer and whether the combination is effective in shrinking or preventing growth of prostate cancer. The names of the study drugs used in this research study are: - Carboplatin (A type of chemotherapy) - 177Lu-PSMA-617 (A type of radioligand therapy)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a VR headset and/or aromatherapy can be used to reduce patient pain, anxiety, and embarrassment during a transperineal biopsy (TPBx) compared to standard of care (SOC). The primary objective is to evaluate differences in self-reported pain, fear, or embarrassment during and after the procedure between the VR Group, Aromatherapy Group, VR+Aromatherapy Group, and the Control group.
Evaluate the protein expression of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDHA) and MCT-1/-4 transporters, involved in lactate synthesis and transport, in prostate carcinoma tissues from severely overweight/obese (BMI > 27.5) and non-severely overweight/normoweight (BMI < 27.5) patients affected by prostate carcinoma. ii. Characterize the immune infiltrate in the prostate carcinoma of the aforementioned patients. iii. Assess the association between intra-tumoral lactate accumulation (using LDHA and MCT-4 protein expression levels as readouts) and alterations in the tumor immune microenvironment and/or deregulation of relevant oncogenic pathways.
Trial design: A single centre phase II non-randomised study Trial population: Men with intermediate risk localised prostate cancer Recruitment target: 20 patients in total Trial objectives: - Primary To develop a 5 fraction de-escalated dose SBRT protocol capable of reducing side effects - Secondary - To assess levels of acute GU and GI toxicity (CTCAE) - To assess levels of late GU and GI toxicity (CTCAE) - To assess late sexual quality of life (expanded EPIC, IIEF-5) - To assess biochemical relapse-free survival at 2 years Trial treatment: All radiotherapy will be delivered on the MR-linac. Intraprostatic dose will be varied according to risk of local recurrence, based on mpMRI, PSA and histology. The whole prostate will receive 30 Gy in 5 fractions and the GTV plus intra-prostatic margin will receive an isotoxic 45 Gy prescription.
This Investigator-initiated, Treatment of High-Risk Prostate Cancer Guided by Novel Diagnostic Radio- and Molecular Tracers (THUNDER) study will be conducted in subjects with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa). The study contains both a randomized Phase 3 treatment intensification study, as well as a treatment de-intensification non-randomized Phase 2 study. The aim of the THUNDER study is to improve the outcome of high-risk PCa by improved risk stratification. Novel radiotracers and a genomic classifier (Decipher) will be used to guide treatment decisions, instead of standard imaging which is limited by lower sensitivity and specificity. The hypothesis for the study is that treatment intensification based on a positive PSMA PET/ CT scan or Decipher high score (> 0.6) improves time to new metastases detected on PSMA PET/ CT in high-risk PCa. In patients who are PSMA PET/ CT negative with a low/ intermediate Decipher score (≤ 0.6), it is hypothesized that treatment de-intensification will improve patient quality of life while maintaining a good oncological outcome. The study will be conducted at multiple centers across Europe. Participation in the study will comprise a screening period, where the screening assessments must be completed before subjects are enrolled and randomized (only for Phase 3 subjects). Eligible, consenting subjects will then undergo treatment according to their assigned study phase and treatment group, to occur over up to 96 weeks (24 months) with a post-treatment follow-up period to monitor safety and efficacy. The study will be closed when 96 events have been registered for the primary endpoint, which is expected to be at 7-8 years from the time of randomization of the first subject.
The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in targeted biopsies based on PCaVision imaging (PCaVision pathway) in comparison with the detection rate of clinically significant cancer in targeted biopsies based on MRI (MRI pathway).
