Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this observational study is to examine the level of activity in the prostate cancer population treated with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT).

The intention of this study is to investigate how many patients with prostate cancer, planned to be treated with LHRH analogues without history of surgery or radiotherapy, are suffering from LUTS. In addition the effect of LHRH analogues on the improvement of theses primary LUTS symptoms over time will be investigated.

Canadian Real Life Evaluation of the Effect of Diet and Exercise in Prostate Cancer Patients Managed with Lupron.

Patients with prostate cancer should have the following examination including biopsy, serum PSA volume, prostate CT scan or MRI, bone scan, abdomen ultrasound, chest X ray, blood biochemistry, blood rout, ECG and testosterone. Two groups: First group:30 cases should be treated with iodine 125 seed implants 0.5 mc transperineal prostate implant +Zoladex 3.6mg im 1/28d (LHRH agonist, 3.6mg subcutaneous injection 1/4weeks). Second group: 30 cases should be treated with Zoladex 3.6mg im 1/28d (LHRH agonist, 3.6mg subcutaneous injection 1/4weeks). PFS and PSA level will be the primary variables.

The purpose of this registry is to document the characteristics and management of patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in routine clinical practice, independent of treatment used. Given the rapidly evolving landscape in mCRPC treatments, there is a need for a current and improved understanding of how these treatments fit into the current treatment paradigm for mCRPC, how they are combined and sequenced, and how their relative effectiveness profiles emerge outside of a clinical trial setting. This will be based on documentation and description of sequencing of treatment initiation, termination, and duration; relative effectiveness of treatments; defined medical resource utilization (MRU) and quality-of-life parameters and follow-up for survival.

Phase III clinical trial to study quality of life in prostate cancer patients by randomizing anti-androgen versus total androgen blockage prior to curative intended radiation therapy.

This study will examine the impact of modern treatments for metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) on several relevant 'geriatric' domains such as daily function, objective physical function, and falls. Additionally, the investigators study whether frailty is associated with worse outcomes, and whether it is possible to predict the risk of severe chemotherapy toxicity in older men.

Although Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a useful marker for early detection of the prostate cancer, its specivity is not sufficient. Several PSA variations were defined in order to increase the specivity of the test, but they aren't much more effective than the PSA alone for detection of disease. In older studies reported that, serum and prostatic tissue zinc levels decreased in prostat cancer disease. In our study we aimed to establish the utility of serum zinc, PSA, free PSA/PSA (fPSA/tPSA), zinc/PSA, levels for early detection of the prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using the P3P website can increase decisional preparation and satisfaction, and decrease decisional conflict, in men deciding how to manage early stage prostate cancer.

The purposes of this study are to: i) confirm and improve the accuracy of the correlation between levels of Zinc in prostate tissue and the grade of prostate cancer in that tissue as determined through pathology; and ii) determine the levels of zinc in prostate tissue declared as non-cancerous by pathology and located in the vicinity of tissue declared as cancerous by pathology, and verify that the Zinc levels for the declared non-cancerous tissue are lower (statistically significantly) than the levels for benign tissue not in the vicinity of cancerous tissue.
