Prostatic Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers for men in the U.S. There are some new ways to take pictures of the cancer. There are also new ways to use image-guided biopsy and therapy. These could help manage prostate cancer. Researchers want to study how imaging can provide a profile of prostate cancer. They want to collect data to make diagnosis and treatments better. Objectives: To gather data about the radiological and clinical course of prostate cancer. To study imaging-based biomarkers of prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older with diagnosed or suspected prostate cancer Design: Participants will give permission for researchers to use their medical history and records. Their data will be reviewed, collected, and analyzed. These include results of their tests and scans. Sponsoring Institution: National Cancer Institute

This study will develop a whole-of-body markerless tracking method for measuring the motion of the tumour and surrounding organs during radiation therapy to enable real-time image guidance. Routinely acquired patient data will be used to improve the training, testing and accuracy of a whole-of-body markerless tracking method. When the markerless tracking method is sufficiently advanced, according to the PI of each of the data collection sites, the markerless tracking method will be run in parallel to, but not intervening with, patient treatments during data acquisition.

The objective of this phase I/II trial is to prospectively evaluate the toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of Stereostatic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) to prostate and pelvic lymph nodes in combination with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy to the prostate in patients with localized unfavorable-intermediate risk or higher disease.

HS-10502 is a Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-specific selective inhibitor. The purpose if this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of HS-10502 in subjects with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutant or homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positive advanced solid tumors.

Prostate cancer(PCa) is the second most common cancer diagnosed in men. Clinical suspicion of PCa is mentioned in patients with digital rectal examination findings and elevated serum PSA. Despite all the advances in radiological imaging methods, the gold standard method in the diagnosis of the disease is systematic prostate biopsy performed under the guidance of transrectal ultrasonography, which is an invasive procedure. In TRUS-guided transrectal prostate biopsy, bacteriuria may develop as a result of the rectum flora being injected into the urinary system through a biopsy needle. Infective complications may be encountered as a result of this contamination. Infective complications can present with conditions ranging from asymptomatic bacteriuria to sepsis. A study has shown that disinfection of the biopsy needle with isopropyl alcohol reduces sepsis due to prostate biopsy compared to the standard procedure. In another study, disinfection of the biopsy needle tip with formalin was found to be associated with a decrease in infectious complications after transrectal prostate biopsy. In this study, investigators aimed to conduct a prospective study comparing Transrectal Ultrasonography-guided Prostate Biopsy cases, in which the biopsy needle was cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, povidone iodine and formalin, and standard biopsy patients in terms of infectious complications.

This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with PARP1 inhibitor, VB15010 is safe, tolerable, and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Stereotactic radiotherapy enables bone metastases to be treated with highly precise irradiation beams, enabling small targets to be irradiated. Planning requires the use of cross-sectional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bone scintigraphy with Tc99m-labelled biphosphonates (T1/2=6h) is indicated in the extension assessment of prostate cancers. Thanks to the advent of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) based on CZT detectors; whole-body SPECT is now compatible with clinical constraints. We propose to study the value of using whole-body SPECT for planning stereotactic radiotherapy of metastatic prostate cancer. This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized study involving 30 patients. Patients will benefit from routine examinations (CT scan, MRI) including a bone SPECT/CT in treatment position performed on the VERITON-CT (Spectrum Dynamics, Haifa, Israel). Planning based on whole-body SPECT images will be carried out remotely from the patient's point of care. The examination will be interpreted by the nuclear physician, and planning will be based on the dosimetric CT scanner, as in standard management. Virtual replanning will be carried out at distance from treatment, incorporating SPECT imaging. Treatment plans with and without SPECT will be compared quantitatively and qualitatively. The feasibility of SPECT imaging in the treatment position will be assessed, enabling lesion location imaging and dosimetric scanning to be performed in a single examination. All therapeutic management and clinical follow-up will be carried out as part of routine care.
