This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided focal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
This phase II trial studies phenelzine sulfate in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and has come back. Phenelzine sulfate is a type of antidepressant that works by decreasing the amount of a protein called monoamine oxidase (MAO). MAO drugs may have an anticancer effect in prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial will evaluate if a low-fat diet with fish oil has the potential to delay disease progression in patients with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance.
This trial studies how well nutrition and exercise interventions work in reducing androgen deprivation therapy-induced obese frailty in prostate cancer survivors. Individualized nutrition and exercise advice for prostate cancer patients on androgen deprivation therapy may help to reduce obese frailty and change the levels of myokines in blood.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer after undergoing surgery. Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
The first technology is called high dose rate brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is sometimes called internal radiation therapy. High dose rate brachytherapy is a procedure that involves temporarily placing radioactive material inside the patient's body for about 10-20 minutes. Then, the remainder of the radiation treatment will be given over a 3 week period using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). SBRT is a novel treatment modality that involves the delivery of very high individual doses of radiation to tumors with high precision. This allows the doctor to deliver the same amount of radiation in a much shorter time. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of brachytherapy when combined with hypofractionated SBRT.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well decision aids work in improving knowledge in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Decision aids may improve patients' knowledge of their condition and options for treatment, and may also help when talking with their doctor.
This study tests four different methods of educating patients about follow-up care (NCI facing forward, brochure, EXCELS website alone, EXCELS health coaching alone and EXCELS website & health coaching combination) after cancer treatment ends. While it is known that patients need information to guide follow-up it remains unknown how to best provide this in primary care.
This Phase I/Ib trial is studying the absorption and metabolism of phytochemicals found in black raspberries in men undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. This knowledge will help us design future chemoprevention studies and assist in making future dietary recommendations for men at high risk for prostate cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery in treating patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, prostate cancer, or kidney cancer. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may block an enzyme needed for tumor cells to multiply and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
