Radiogenomics: Assessment of Polymorphisms for Predicting the Effects of Radiotherapy (RAPPER)
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is evaluating DNA mutations in predicting the effect of external-beam radiation therapy in patients with early breast cancer, localized prostate cancer, or gynecologic cancer.

A Case-Control Study of Prostate Cancer in the Greater Baltimore Area: An Epidemiological Study of Genetic Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer in African-American and Caucasian Males
This study will examine the association of genetic variants and gene expression patterns with the risk of prostate cancer. There will be (It will include?) genotype analysis of blood DNA from 600 patients with the disease and from 600 healthy people, and there will be a gene expression analysis of prostate tumors. Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death among men in Western countries. It is estimated that 220,000 or more new cases of the disease will occur in the United States during 2004. The disease incidence is rising. About 25% to 30% of the cancers become aggressive. The nonhereditary disease rarely occurs in men who are younger than age 40. There are large differences in incidence by geography and race. The highest rates are seen among African-American men in the United States. Also, although Caucasians have a lower rate of disease incidence and mortality in the United States, the rates among them are high compared with rates in some European countries. The reasons for such differences are not well understood, but both environmental and genetic risk factors are thought to be involved. Patients ages 40 to 80 years who have had prostate cancer confirmed within the past 6 months, who reside in Baltimore City or adjacent metropolitan counties, and who were born in the United States may be eligible for this study. They will be recruited in collaboration with the Departments of Pathology and Urology at the University of Maryland and the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Those men serving as controls in this study will be identified through the Department of Motor Vehicles database and will be matched by age and race with the patients who have cancer. The study will include 600 participants with prostate cancer and 600 participants in the control group. Trained interviewers will administer two questionnaires. The primary questionnaire will be used to assess information such as medical and cancer history, tobacco use, current medications, occupational history, family medical history, and socioeconomic status. A supplemental questionnaire will pertain to patients' exposure to risk factors for prostate cancer. It will assess the human body, diet, medical history, family medical history, and sexual history. The section on sexual history will be self-administered. Patients will undergo collection of blood and urine for various tests. For cancer patients with prostate surgery, there will also be a collection of tissue, to be performed at the time that the prostate gland is scheduled for surgical removal. The pattern of gene expression will be analyzed in low- and high-stage tumors. There will be no direct benefit from participating in the study, but participants will receive an incentive of up to $75 to participate in the study. No form of treatment is involved in this study. However, it is hoped that the study findings will improve researchers' understanding of prostate cancer biology with respect to the causes of the health variances between African-Americans and Caucasians. ...

Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) Companion Long Term Follow Up Study for Men Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
RATIONALE: Learning about the long-term effects of chemoprevention drugs, such as finasteride, in patients with prostate cancer may help doctors plan better treatment and follow-up care. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is following patients who were diagnosed with prostate cancer while undergoing treatment with either finasteride or a placebo on the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT).

Prostate Cancer IRE Study (PRIS) - A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Focal to Radical Treatment in Localized Prostate Cancer
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility to treat localized prostate cancer diagnosed with MRI and targeted/systematic biopsies, with IRE in comparison with conventional radical treatments with the primary objective to locally control the tumour with a minimum of side effects.

Cleveland African American Prostate Cancer Project: Equivalence of Passive Navigation, Active Navigation, and Community-based Screening for Completion of Prostate Cancer Screening
The purpose of this research is to test intervention strategies that encourage and support Black or African American men who are 40 and older to complete prostate cancer screening, and specifically to complete a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.

Assessment of New Molecular Imaging Strategies for Prostate Cancer: Predictive Value of Established and Novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Radiotracers in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
In this study 30 men, with advanced metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) planned to have hormonal treatment, will undergo conventional imaging and functional imaging prior to treatment and post treatment to determine if changes in imaging results will be prognostic of outcome. Patients will have a clinical follow-up every 3 months post randomization for one year and followed for survival at Years 2 and 3.

The Effectiveness of a Proposed Prostate Cancer Outreach Program in a Predominantly African American Community That Promotes Informed Decision-making for Prostate Cancer Screening and Utilizes Community Navigation
This clinical trial studies an informed decision making intervention of screening for prostate cancer in predominantly African American participants. It also evaluates participants' knowledge about prostate cancer screening and to improve understanding. Using decision aids such as culturally sensitive written material, verbal information, and videos to educate patients about screening may increase patient participation and knowledge. This may increase confidence in participants' decisions. Raising awareness about prostate cancer in the communities may increase the participants' willingness to be screened for prostate cancer once they have learned about it.

Retrospective Analysis of Endostatin Genotype in Prostate Cancer Patients to Assess the Association of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (D104N) in Endostatin and Prostate Cancer
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer and from healthy participants in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients with prostate cancer and from healthy participants to identify a polymorphism that may help in the study of prostate cancer.

Danish Prostate Cancer Consortium Study-1 (DPCC-1): Multicenter Development of Liquid Biopsy Biomarkers for Early Detection of Prostate Cancer.
The purpose of the study is to investigate if a new promising microRNA-based urine biomarker test for prostate cancer, called uCaP, is better than the current standard test (PSA) to identify men who would benefit from an MRI scan of the prostate. The study will include 2,500 men referred to MRI of the prostate at three major hospital centers in Denmark (Aarhus, Odense, and Herlev) and compare the accuracy of uCaP to PSA. Based on preliminary data it is expected that uCaP will be >20% better than PSA at identifying treatment-requiring cancer. Hence, uCaP could help to better pre-select men for MRI and thereby reduce unnecessary MRI scans, unnecessary prostate biopsies, as well as overdiagnosis and overtreatment of indolent PCs, while maintaining high sensitivity for aggressive PC that needs early detection and early treatment.
