Summary

This study is being done to determine whether levels of prostate cancer derived extracellular vesicles from blood and urine specimens correlate with response to primary local treatment (surgery) in prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-RP.

II. Determine the correlation between levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles and PSA.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I (RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY): Prostate cancer patients undergo blood and urine sample collection on study. Patients’ medical records are also reviewed.

COHORT II (NEOADJUVANT): Prostate cancer patients undergo blood and urine sample collection throughout the study. Patients’ medical records are also reviewed.

COHORT III (NEGATIVE CONTROLS): Female urology clinic patients and female volunteers undergo blood and urine sample collection on study.

    Levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) - negative controls

    Time Frame: Baseline

    Correlation between prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and prostate cancer-derived EVs

    Time Frame: Baseline
