Purpose: To find the correlation between hemogram parameters and Delta Neutrophil Index(DNI) and Serum PSA in patients presenting with the diagnosis of acute prostatitis. Material-Metod: Serum PSA levels and hemogram parameters of patients who came to the urology outpatient clinic in January 2018 and May 2022 and were diagnosed with prostatitis were collected retrospectively.
The purpose of this study is to quantify and publish participants' relative preferences for outcomes of chemotherapy and novel oral hormonal agents when added to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for participants with locally-advanced and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This study will also quantify the importance of administration factors related to convenience relative to treatment outcomes.
The aim of this study is to facilitate collection of real-world data to test and train the analytics engine for each prototype algorithm. Preliminary datasets will be generated to enable a dry run of the prototype algorithms to check their predictive functionality as part of simulated 'experimental' scenarios at each LifeChamps partner site. This preparatory work will be critical to the development of the LifeChamps platform, prior to progressing to a larger scale feasibility trial.
Assessment of efficacy and safety of implantable spacers when used to reduce the radiation dose delivered to the organs at risk in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pneumatic compression on post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability profile of BZ371A topically administered in healthy patients.
Active surveillance (AS) is becoming an increasingly common treatment option for men who have been diagnosed with localised low-grade prostate cancer (PCa). Low-grade disease is commonly noted by clinicians to be clinically insignificant cancer but remains a psychological burden to many men in this cohort. There is consensus that regular review is required for men on AS so that early treatment can be undertaken if there is disease progression, and to support men living with a cancer diagnosis. Some AS protocols, including National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), advocate the use of MRI as a regular part of the monitoring pathway. Unfortunately, access to MRI for AS, within the current health care environment in the UK, is limited due to increasing demand for primary diagnostic examinations, particularly in the post pandemic recovery phase. Emerging technologies in ultrasound imaging may, however, add another diagnostic tool to monitor disease for patients on AS. This proof of concept study is to evaluate whether new multi-parametric ultrasound techniques can safely reduce the number of MRIs required for effective AS. Men being investigated for PCa will be invited to undergo an ultrasound examination of their prostate, via the rectum, in addition to the diagnostic MRI undertaken as part of normal care. The findings of the ultrasound will be directly compared with the MRI and any subsequent biopsy samples taken as part of routine care. Those who then progress onto AS will be invited to undergo regular rectal prostate ultrasound examinations. These will be compared with previous imaging for signs of change. This study will also evaluate the changing role of practitioners who will be using new technologies and making decisions about disease progression. The ability to implement new techniques will be assessed. All imaging will be undertaken at Castle Hill Hospital over a 24-month period from commencement of the study.
This clinical trial studies a digital platform, the supportive therapy in androgen deprivation (STAND-T), in achieving equity for men undergoing treatment with androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. STAND-T is a digital platform that provides prostate health information, evidence-based materials and resources. STAND-T may help improve health, address symptoms, and promote equity in men with prostate cancer.
