Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the short-term and 1-yr follow-up functional outcomes of retzius-repairing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RR-RARP) with retzius-sparing (RS) RARP. This study is a single-centre, single-surgeon and a prospective randomized study.
This research is being done to determine if we can improve the outcome of prostate cancer patients who have failed primary treatment - surgery or local radiation to the prostate - and have three or fewer bone or soft tissue metastases.
OPTIMUM is a study designed to compare the ability of ultra-high resolution transrectal micro-ultrasound (microUS) and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)/US fusion to guide prostate biopsy.
The treatment regimen will consist of 4 doses of FPI-2265
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will aim to examine the effect of a 12-week behavioural intervention on changing the sedentary behaviours (SB) of prostate cancer survivors (PCS) compared to a control group (FitBit-only group). PCS in the intervention group will receive a FitBit and 6 behavioural support sessions with a movement specialist guided by behavioural theory (i.e., the Multi-Process Action Control [M-PAC]). The FitBit-only group will only receive a FitBit and access to public health resources on physical activity (PA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the intervention on changing SB of PCS immediately following the 12-week intervention and 6-months later. It is hypothesized that that the intervention will decrease their SB compared to the FitBit-only control condition at both timepoints. This trial will also examine the effect of the intervention on changing PA, motivational outcomes from the M-PAC framework, sleep quality, social support, physical function, quality of life, fatigue, disability and mental health compared to the active control condition.
Oligo-metastatic prostate cancer (OMPCa) is considered as an intermediated state between localized and poly-metastatic disease. Various retrospective studies and prospective clinical trials are carrying out to validate whether patients with OMPCa could benefit from local treatment for both primary and metastatic lesions. The investigators here to conduct a unique clinical trial which OMPCa patients were confirmed by conventional imaging, and received a long-term enhanced systemic therapy accompanied by tumor-directed therapy.
Phase III study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plus standard of care in castration sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer patients, defined as androgen deprivation therapy plus radiotherapy to the primary tumor in previously not treated patients and second generation hormonal treatments (Apalutamide/Abiraterone+Prednisone/Enzalutamide) vs androgen deprivation therapy plus radiotherapy to the primary tumor in previously not treated patients plus second generation hormonal treatments, for the treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer.
The investigators explore the biodistribution of FAPI-PET expression in primary high-risk prostate cancer in men undergoing RALP and eLND and in men with metastatic PCa about to start next generation antiandrogen.
The seminal vesicles (SV) are glands that open into the prostatic urethra and secrete seminal fluid, which makes up 50 to 80% of semen. They play an essential role in the male reproductive function. In adults, the size of a seminal vesicle varies from one individual to another. On average, it is 5 to 6 cm long, 1.5 cm wide and 0.5 cm thick. It has a close anatomical relationship with Walsh's vascular-nervous pedicle, which extends the sacro-genital-pubic blades, and is responsible for erection. The reference treatment for localized prostate cancer can consist of two alternatives: either intensity-modulated pelvic radiotherapy with treatment of the entire prostate volume and VS, or surgical removal of the vesiculo-prostatic block in monobloc. It is therefore always extended to the VS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now routinely performed for the initial workup of prostate cancer, with a diagnostic and prognostic role, as invasion of the VS by cancer is recognized as a poor prognostic factor. Some radiology centers recommend 3 days of sexual abstinence to allow a proper seminal vesicle study. Various factors, such as serum testosterone levels, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, smoking, and certain drugs such as SILODOSINE, have been identified as factors that can independently vary seminal vesicle size. The duration of sexual abstinence since the last ejaculation also appears to be correlated with seminal vesicle volume. Two recent studies found a correlation between the duration of sexual abstinence and seminal vesicle volume measured on MRI in a young population (median age 35.9 and 46.45 years). This population is not superimposable to that of patients managed for prostate cancer whose average age at diagnosis is 70 years. However, the control and knowledge of the volume of VS, in this specific population, could have an interest in the treatment of prostate cancer: - In case of pelvic radiotherapy in order to limit the volume of the organ to be irradiated, the toxicity induced to the adjacent organs being directly associated to the delivered dose. - In case of radical vesiculo-prostatectomy, by surgical way, the lateral dissection of the vasculo-nerveous bands is made more difficult in case of voluminous seminal vesicles with an increased risk of nerve damage. Investigators hypothesize that the volume of the VS is correlated with the duration of abstinence. Thus, evacuation of seminal fluid by ejaculation at a defined time before curative treatment of prostate cancer, could improve the functional results of pelvic radiotherapy or surgery.
This is a phase 3, randomised, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the use of short term androgen deprivation therapy in the form of apalutamide (Erleada) in men on active surveillance for prostate cancer.
