About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring Prostate Cancer, Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI, Non-invasive Prostate Cancer Detection

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are scheduled for radical prostatectomy or for brachytherapy
  • patients who have not received any preoperative treatment for their diagnosis of prostate cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients with implants that are electronically, magnetically, or mechanically active
  • patients with intracranial aneurysm clips
  • patients who have undergone cosmetic eyelid surgery
  • patients with history of pheochromocytoma, insulinoma and acute glaucoma
  • patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73m2

Arm Label

Radical prostatectomy patients

Brachytherapy patients

Arm Description

Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy and have not received any preoperative treatment for prostate cancer.

Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are scheduled to undergo brachytherapy and have not received any preoperative treatment for prostate cancer.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Improved Accuracy of Prostate Cancer Detection by MRI Scan.
Data obtained as part of this study could not be analyzed in a meaningful way due to problems with correlation between the cancerous tissue identified by histology and tissue imaging from imaging.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Successful MRI Guidance of Transrectal Ultrasound Biopsy in Patients.
Ultrasound guidance of transrectal ultrasound biopsy was not attempted.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the present study is to find out if MRI techniques examining (1) the motion of water molecules in the prostate (diffusion sensitive MRI), (2) the difference in blood flow to the prostate (dynamic contrast enhanced MRI), and (3) differences in chemical composition of the prostate (MR spectroscopy), can be used to detect prostate cancer early and non-invasively. Localization of the cancer within the prostate would be of particular importance in focal cryoablation of prostate carcinoma which we hope to improve as a result of this project. Additional aim of the study is to correlate expression of genes believed to pay a role in prostate cancer with MRI findings.
Detailed Description
Radical prostatectomy patients will undergo an MRI prior to their scheduled surgery. Ex vivo imaging will be done on prostates once removed. Results from the final pathology with be compared with results of imaging to determine the accuracy of the image analysis in cancer localization and staging. Brachytherapy patients will undergo an MRI prior to their scheduled procedure. Two areas of suspected cancer and two areas without suspected cancer will be prospectively identified based on the MRI imaging. At the time of brachytherapy, transrectal needle biopsies will be obtained from the previously identified areas. The needle cores will be reviewed by study pathologist to determine the accuracy of the image analysis in cancer localization and staging.
