Biomarcatori non invasivi nella gestione del cancro alla prostata

Prostate cancer patients who had received primary diagnosis at Moffitt or outside the cancer center with available records (radiology, pathology, access to tissue samples).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Prostate cancer patients who had received primary diagnosis at Moffitt or outside the cancer center with available records (radiology, pathology, access to samples).
• No-Surgery (Intermediate risk) group: patients diagnosed with pre-biopsy mpMRI, blood plasma: the biopsy must consist of a pathological diagnosis with a Gleason pattern score.
• Surgery (High risk) group: patients who had radical prostatectomy (RP) with (or with-out) mpMR imaging, bio fluids available for research will be accrued for this group. We follow the NCCN recommendations for high-risk (Unfavorable intermediate risk or High-risk) groups inclusion and follow-up criteria (58, 89, 90).
• ≥ 4 ng/ml and ≤ 20 ng/ml and PSA ≤ 10 ng/ml (for late disease), within 3 months of study enrollment.
• Age 35 through 85 years.
• Zubrod/ECOG performance status <2;
• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
• Patients who agree to have a multiparametric MRI with targeted/template biopsy.
• Patients must agree to fill out the longitudinal psychosocial questionnaires assessing health related quality of life.
• Availability of Bio-samples (blood plasma, urine) for exosomal, proteomic, genomic and pathology (H&E slides, IHC slides).
• Quantity of bio-samples; Blood, Urine, tissue sections (including FFPE) for each region of interest.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject is not a candidate for multiparametric MRI with contrast. Some reasons may include (but are not limited to): renal insufficiency, foreign body or pacemakers.
• No prior pelvic radiotherapy
• No prior surgery to the prostate, other than transurethral procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (e.g., transurethral resection, green light laser treatment)
• No concurrent, active malignancy, other than non-metastatic skin cancer of any type, superficial bladder cancer, or early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (well-differentiated small cell lymphocytic lymphoma) or > Bilateral hip replacement.
