Prostate

Single-center, cross-sectional observational study assessing the feasibility of advanced accelerated MRI sequences versus standard ones in terms of image quality, diagnostic reliability, and acquisition time.

Background: * It is not fully understood why prostate cancer in some men becomes androgen-independent (no longer responds to anti-androgen medication), but genetics likely plays an important role. * Genes contain the hereditary information that is passed down from parents to children. Although everyone has the same set of genes, individuals can have different forms of the same gene. * Differences in genes may explain, at least in part, why some people develop a more aggressive form of prostate cancer than others. Objectives: -To obtain blood samples from patients with prostate cancer to try to identify gene differences associated with progression to the androgen independent state. Eligibility: -All participants participating in NCI prostate cancer protocols. Design: * Participants with prostate cancer are evaluated in the NCI s Medical Oncology Clinic. * Blood samples are collected at the initial visit or at follow-up visits. * DNA (genetic material) and white blood cells are extracted from these samples to be used for genotyping and establishment of cell lines. * Gene variations are correlated with prostate cancer prognosis and prognostic indicators.

The goal of this study to determine if using the (18)F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET-CT scan can improve the ability to spot serious prostate cancer in patients who have uncertain MRI results. These uncertain results include MRI results that showed a PIRADS 2 or PIRADS 3 area on the prostate. The investigators want to find out if this new test is better to detect prostate cancer than just doing a biopsy based on MRI alone.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if investigational drug called SYS6043 works in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have spread or cannot be treated with standard therapies. The main goals of the study are to understand how safe SYS6043 is, what side effects it may cause, and what dose can be given safely. Researchers will also study how the drug moves through the body and whether the immune system reacts to it. In addition, the study will look for early signs that SYS6043 may help slow or shrink tumors and explore whether the amount of a tumor protein called B7-H3 is related to how well the treatment works. Participants will: * Provide written informed consent * Undergo screening tests to ensure they are eligible for study treatment * Attend all required study visits and receive SYS6043 by intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W), with 21 days as one treatment cycle until the study doctor determines that study treatment should be stopped based on how well a participant is doing on treatment. * Have safety follow-up (SFU), and long-term follow-up. * Be followed until progression.

A prospective feasibility study would be a practical first step, focusing on real-time assessment and ensuring the new working element's integration is safe and effective before broader clinical trials.

This clinical trial aims to investigate the analgesic efficacy of several perioperative pain management strategies-specifically, epidural analgesia, paravertebral blockade, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), and intrathecal morphine-in patients undergoing a range of urological procedures. These procedures include pediatric circumcision, hydrocelectomy, inguinal hernia repair, renal cyst excision, and transurethral resection of the prostate. The trial will also evaluate the safety profiles of two specific local anesthetics, liposomal bupivacaine and ropivacaine. The primary research question is whether these different analgesic techniques reduce postoperative opioid requirements in patients undergoing urological surgery. A secondary question explores the adverse events associated with the use of liposomal bupivacaine and ropivacaine in this population. Participants will be: Urological surgery patients undergoing one of the aforementioned procedures. These participants will be randomized to receive one of the following pain management modalities: epidural analgesia, paravertebral blockade, TAP block, intravenous PCA, or intrathecal morphine. Patient assessments will be conducted in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Outcome measures will include: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores, total postoperative analgesic consumption, recovery status, patient satisfaction, and time to return of bowel function.

The principal aim of the registry is to collect data on focal therapy (FT) for the treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancer across Europe. Data will be gathered on cancer absence following treatment, survival rates, and the absence of disease failure or progression. Information will be collected from as many centers as possible over the next 5 years to enhance understanding of when focal therapy should be used, which energy types are most effective, and how patients respond to treatment, including its side effects and impact on quality of life. This Europe-wide data collection will contribute to improving care by informing the development of enhanced national and international guidelines for prostate cancer treatment with focal therapy.
