Official title
Optimizing Human Prostate Extracellular Matrix as a Structure for Maintenance and Studying of Prostate Cancer Stem Cells
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This pilot research trial studies the use of a human prostate tissue model to maintain and study prostate cancer stem cells. A human prostate tissue model uses leftover tissue that was removed during surgery from patients with non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and may create an environment similar to the natural environment of the human body. Prostate cancer stem cells are cells that cause cancer to grow. Using real tissue to create an environment to study stem cells may help doctors learn more about how they work and how they respond to treatments.
