Prostate Cancer Screening Among Men With High Risk Genetic Predisposition

Not Applicable
Conditions
BRCA2 Syndrome
BRCA1 Syndrome
Lynch Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT02053805
Lead Sponsor
Rabin Medical Center
Brief Summary

This will be a prospective diagnostic trial of screening for prostate cancer among men with genetic predisposition.

Detailed Description

This will be a prospective diagnostic trial of screening for prostate cancer among men with genetic predisposition. The target population is males (40-70 year old) carrying a BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 germ line mutation. They will be identified via our Genetic counseling unit. All men after signing an informed consent will undergo the following tests: PSA, free to total PSA, MRI of prostate and prostate biopsy. The primary endpoint will be to estimate the prevalence, stage and grade of prostate cancer in this population. Additionally, the study aims to estimate the impact of these germ line mutations on benign prostatic hyperplasia. Furthermore, this study aims to create a bio-bank of tissue, urine and serum of this unique cohort for future investigations. Finally, this study will identify an inception cohort for future interventional studies of primary and secondary prevention.
