Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Transrectal Ultrasound Fusion Image-Guided Prostate Biopsy Following Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion image-guided prostate biopsy following radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsy may help find and diagnose prostate cancer
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate accuracy of the new image-guided targeted needle biopsy using the ex-vivo human prostate as obtained from fresh radical prostatectomy specimens.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo robotic radical prostatectomy, followed by 3 MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsies.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects must have biopsy-proven prostate cancer, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >= 4 ng/ml or an abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) if consented before prostate biopsy
Subjects must have at least 2, preferably 3, pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-identified malignant or benign lesions that measure between 10 mm and 15 mm in diameter within the prostate
Subjects must have decided to have their prostate surgically removed
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who do not give informed consent
Patients with extracapsular extension of their prostate cancer
