Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
Prostate Screening for Men With Inherited Risk of Developing Aggressive Prostate Cancer, PATROL Study
Summary
This study investigates ways to detect prostate cancer earlier in men who are at increased genetic risk of developing prostate cancer that forms, grows, or spreads quickly (aggressive). Studying samples of blood, urine, and/or tissue in the laboratory may help doctors further understand the genetics of prostate cancer and help identify ways to detect cancer earlier, thereby improving treatment and methods of early detection in the future.
Full Description
OUTLINE:
Participants undergo collection of blood, urine, and/or tissue samples every 6-12 months, when any biopsy occurs, and if relevant, at time of curative therapy and 3-9 months after completion of curative therapy for up to 3 years.
After completion of study, participants are followed up annually.
