Filter by:The investigators conduct this prospective study to investigate the learning curve of digital rectal examination (DRE) for prostate cancer among internship. The investigators want to know how many DRE are usually needed for internship to be performed in urological practice to obtain a stable DRE accuracy.
This is an investigator initiated study to test the efficacy of an upright MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for the screening of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare Upright MRI as a technique to PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and current MRI imaging. It will take place at Mount Sinai Hospital, and last for a total of about 5 years. Eligible patients will be determined by the urologist. The target population is men who are at risk for prostate cancer, as determined by the urologist. Diagnostic criteria will include elevated PSA and an abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE). After patients are screened and determined eligible, they will be asked to have a seated MRI using the Indomitable Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner, Ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging using 0.6 T strength, as well as a standard of care closed 3T MRI. After each scan, the patient will be given a series of questionnaires to assess their comfort level during the scan. Patients will be followed every 6 months after completion of (or early withdrawal from) study enrollment until 5 years.
BIOPSTAGE is a prospective, non-randomized, diagnostic, multi-cohort investigational study to evaluate the impact of pelvic Multi-parametric 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (mp-3TMRI) and whole-body 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for diagnosis of clinically-significant prostate cancer and pre-surgical staging.
A Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Expanded Cohort Study Of PF-06821497 In The Treatment Of Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) And Follicular Lymphoma (FL).
This is a pilot study assessing efficacy and safety in patients with advanced prostate cancer.
Primary objective: To correlate the blood/urine metabolomic biomarkers with PET/MR imaging. Secondary objectives: 1. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the PET/MR in diagnosis of prostate cancer. 2. To examine the diagnostic performance among subgroups of defined high-risk and low-risk subjects. 3. To interrogate the metabolomic alterations with the molecular PET/MR to develop workable panel biomarkers.
This study aims to learn how to improve MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) that do not require the patient to be injected with a contrast dye. Researchers expect to learn how to better find and describe tumors in patients with prostate cancer. Participants have a whole body research MRI scan within 90 days of a standard-of-care imaging procedure. The research study will collect copies of those scans to compare to the research scans as part of the study analysis. Patients who have additional standard-of-care scans within 12 months after their research scan may be asked to have a second non-contrast MRI for research within 90 days of their follow-up standard of care imaging. The whole body MRI scan will be compared to the standard-of-care scan for prostate cancer detection and to assess patient response to standard-of-care treatment.
Stereo-Re-Pro aims to provide further evidence of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as a supplementary non-invasive curative treatment for local recurrence following radiotherapy. The objective of the first part of the trial (Phase I) is to select the recommended dose for salvage SBRT (either 5 x 6 Gy, 6 x 6 Gy, or 5 x 5 Gy) based on dose-limiting toxicity observed during the 18 weeks following the initiation of salvage-SBRT. Particular attention will be paid to the quality of life and tolerance of the treatment. The objective of the second part of the trial (phase II) is to estimate the efficacy of the salvage-SBRT in terms of biochemical relapse-free survival rate.
Impedance-based analysis could provide an adequate response to the need to identify a safe and reliable tool alternative to bioptic diagnosis. Patients who are candidates for prostate biopsy as suffering from urinary symptoms accompanied by clinical suspicions such as high total PSA value and / or presence of prostate nodule and / or evidence of obvious lesion to available imaging methods will be subjected to impedance measurement. Aim of this study is to be able to structure a bivariate analysis of the distribution of impedances detected in patients with neoplasia in order to detect test median reference values.
H17-02904 is a randomized comparison of low dose rate vs. high dose rate prostate brachytherapy for favorable and intermediate risk prostate cancer suitable for brachytherapy as monotherapy. This is a continuation with expanded accrual of the randomized Pilot study H15-02103
