Predicting the Risk of Failure in Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Radiation Toxicity
Registration Number
NCT00769223
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Gathering information about the Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and cancer stage from patients who have undergone radiation therapy for prostate cancer may help doctors predict how patients respond to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the Gleason score, PSA level, and cancer stage in predicting outcome in patients who have undergone radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Evaluate the value of the pre-operative Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen level, and clinical stage in predicting the risk of failure and death in patients who have undergone radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patient medical records are reviewed to collect data about pre-treatment prostate biopsy, assigned Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen level, and radionucleotide bone scan.

Patients complete a Bowel Toxicity questionnaire to assess quality of life related to acute and long-term bowel toxicity after radiotherapy.

Value of the pre-operative Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen level, and clinical stage in predicting the risk of failure and deathUp to 30 years or until death

The investigator will be analyzing the effect of baseline patient and clinical features such as age, Gleason score, PSA, clinical stage and percent positive biopsies on survival as well as quality of life parameters including potency, continence, and American Urological Association (AUA) symptoms scores
