Carbon Ion Followed by Proton Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer With Pelvic Lymph Nodes Metastases
The present of clinically pelvic lymph node positive (cN1) represent one of the most important prognostic factors for recurrence and cancer-specific mortality of prostate cancer patients. Approximately 12% of prostate cancer patients present with cN1 disease at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, with the advent of more sensitive advance diagnostic …
Effect of Optimized PEEP on Mechanical Ventilation During Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
Steep trendelenburg posture or pneumoperitoneum for surgery causes ventilation problems during surgery, so finding a way to overcome is a challenging task for anesthesiologists. In this study, for patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy under general anesthesia, anesthesia is going to perform by applying conventional positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP 5cmH2O) …
Prevalence of the c.853delT Mutation of the HOXB13 Gene in Prostate Cancer in Martinique
In Martinique, prostate cancer incidence rates are nowadays among the highest worldwide with a high incidence of early-onset and familial forms. We identified a rare heterozygous germline variant c.853delT (p.Ter285Lysfs) rs77179853, reported only among patients of African ancestry with a minor allele frequency of 3.2%. We search to estimate the …
Pragmatic Trial of Metformin for Glucose Intolerance or Increased BMI in Prostate Cancer Patients
Metformin is used widely in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has off-label indications for use in the prevention of diabetes and in hyperinsulinar obesity. In medical practices, the implementation of metformin for these off-label indications is variable, often at the level of the provider. Multiple retrospective investigations have …
WALNUTS for POWER: Polyphenols, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Weight Loss, and EneRgy
This is a randomized control trial testing the effect of walnut supplementation on prostate cancer progression in 50 men with biopsy confirmed prostate cancer and planning to undergo RP. Patients consented to the study will be randomly assigned to either continue their usual diets (control arm) or to the walnut …
Using Rectal Hydrogel Spacer for Salvage SABR in Prostate Cancer
There are several single institutional series that have reported their experience with salvage radiotherapy options that include EBRT, LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity with salvage radiotherapy range between14-58%, respectively for patients undergoing re-irradiation. There is a concern for an increased risk of fistula development in these patients who …
Pilot Study to Investigate Magnetic Resonance (MR) Image Guided Focal Therapy in Prostate Cancer
Background The ability to treat early prostate cancer is still limited. Thermal ablation methods are being tested for focal prostate cancer therapy. Researchers want to improve on these methods. Objective To understand if Transurethral UltraSound Ablation (TULSA) in combination with MRI guidance is useful to treat localized prostate cancer. Eligibility …
Utility of Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate Metabolic Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This is a two-tiered pilot study in which there will be no randomization and no placebo treatment. This study will be to perform metabolic magnetic resonance imaging on men suspected to have a prostate cancer to understand if metabolic MRI can be safely performed on this population
Single Fractions SBRT for Prostate Cancer
It is a phase I study of radical hypofractionation delivering one single fraction of SBRT in patients with low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer that will undergo placement of the SpaceOAR hydrogel prior to treatment. Our hypothesis is that treatments can be safely delivered in one single fraction using SBRT …
Optimal Prostate Study
To compare the toxicity, rate of local control, biochemical failure rate and quality of life of three different radiotherapy techniques (moderate hypofractionation, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and standard radiotherapy plus 2 fractions of SBRT (BOOSTER)
