Filter by:This clinical trial implements a communication intervention to improve patient-oncologist communication in the outpatient medical oncology setting. A communication brochure called the ASQ brochure may help patients prepare for the doctor visit by thinking through the questions that patients and patients' family want to ask the doctor.
This study tests four different methods of educating patients about follow-up care (NCI facing forward, brochure, EXCELS website alone, EXCELS health coaching alone and EXCELS website & health coaching combination) after cancer treatment ends. While it is known that patients need information to guide follow-up it remains unknown how to best provide this in primary care.
This pilot research trial studies the collection of serum samples in studying emotional stress in patients with prostate cancer. Studying serum samples from patients with prostate cancer in the laboratory may help doctors determine if levels of epinephrine and cortisol, substances the body makes when stressed, rise or fall with how patients are feeling and/or if those levels are related to clinical information related to prostate cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well decision aids work in improving knowledge in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Decision aids may improve patients' knowledge of their condition and options for treatment, and may also help when talking with their doctor.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well visually enhanced education works in improving prostate cancer and treatment knowledge in patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other places in the body. Visually enhanced education includes pictures, drawings, and photos, may help doctors better convey information about radiation and prostate cancer to patients.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy, that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies intensity-modulated external beam radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer.
This is a prospective clinical trial examining the use of MRI to measure internal organ motion and any resulting changes in the target volume (shape and location) during a course of post-operative radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The goal is to better understand and characterize these physiologic variations so that they can be accounted for during the treatment planning process. The ultimate longer-term clinical goal here is to provide a form of adaptive radiation therapy in the future, such that if major changes are seen over an 8-week course of radiation therapy in our study. This may argue for hypofractionating those patients who are most likely to have major shifts over time.
This phase II trial is studying sorafenib tosylate and gene expression in patients undergoing surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Studying samples of blood and tumor tissues in the laboratory from patients with prostate cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA after treatment with sorafenib tosylate
Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of prostate cancer. This phase I trial is studying how well green tea extract works in treating patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery to remove the prostate
This randomized phase II trial studies how well different doses of lycopene work in treating patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The use of lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from growing or coming back after surgery.
