Broxuridine Plus Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Prostate Cancer

January 24, 2013 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Cell Kinetic Study of Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in Prostate Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of broxuridine in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage I or stage II prostate cancer. Broxuridine may help doctors determine the rate of growth of prostate tumors and help them plan effective treatment

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. Measure the potential doubling times of multifocal adenocarcinomas of the prostate using broxuridine.

II. Determine whether the doubling times of multifocal carcinomas occurring within a single prostate are consistent with a model in which low-volume carcinomas have slow doubling times and high-volume carcinomas have fast doubling times.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive broxuridine IV over 30 minutes on day -1. Approximately 12-96 hours later, patients undergo surgery to remove the prostate. Tumor tissue is examined by immunostaining for the presence of broxuridine to determine doubling times of the tumor.
