About this trial
The purpose of this study is to collect prostate cancer tissue from males with metastatic prostate cancers in order to study the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is the area surrounding the tumor including cells, blood vessels, etc., in men with metastatic prostate cancer. The type of research performed on these tissue samples include genetic \& molecular analyses.

Age ≥18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status: 0,1 or 2
Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate. (Rarely pathology is not available but if clinical situation confirms prostate cancer - such as prior response to androgen ablation and/or metastatic disease typical of prostate cancer, i.e. involving bone or pelvic/extra pelvic lymph nodes or para-aortic lymph nodes, AND an elevated serum concentration of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) typical of prostate cancer) pathology is not required and patient can be enrolled after discussed with study PI.
Disqualifiers
A psychiatric disorder, medical condition, or other life circumstance, which in the opinion of the investigators, would make it difficult for a patient to successfully complete the informed consent process.
