About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Prostatic Neoplasms

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Men due to undergo sextant prostate biopsy Serum PSA <10 ng/ml Exclusion Criteria: Previous diagnosis of prostate cancer Inability to give informed consent

Sites / Locations

  • Princess Margaret Hospital

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Median pO2 and HP5 will be analyzed according to the presence or absence of tumour on biopsy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Median pO2 and HP5 for the prostate gland in each patient with negative biopsy result will be compared with the median pO2 and HP5 for peri-prostatic tissue.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is based on previous observation that, in men with localized prostate cancer, non-cancerous prostate tissue is hypoxic, and on the known contribution of hypoxia to the progression of cancer. Patients undergoing diagnostic prostate biopsy with serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) less than 10ng/ml and who have given informed consent will have oxygen measurements of the prostate and peri-prostatic tissue taken with the Eppendorf electrode at the time of biopsy. The oxygenation of normal prostate tissue will be compared to that of cancerous prostate tissue. In men with negative biopsies, the prostate tissue oxygen measurements will be compared with the peri-prostatic tissue oxygen measurements.
