Official title
Non-invasive Detection of Cancer DNA in Blood and Urine
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is being conducted to collect and analyze biospecimens (blood and urine) and clinical data from patients with prostate cancer as well as healthy volunteers to better understand the differences between cancer cells and normal tissues with the goal of developing a better way to detect and track the treatment of prostate cancer. * These samples are being collected to conduct research to accomplish the goal of improving cancer therapies, biomarkers, and hopefully lead to more effective treatment of prostate cancer. * The samples that you are providing as a patient with prostate cancer will be used in future research. * Your biospecimens will be compared to the cancer and normal volunteer specimens from other participants to understand genetic differences between normal and cancer cells. Genetic material, including DNA and RNA, will be obtained from samples, stored, and used for evaluation. * Clinical information and samples will be collected and stored for ongoing research. This is a necessity because improved diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer in the future depend upon the ongoing analysis of basic research findings and clinical outcomes. This type of research may improve the lives of future patients with cancer. Men between the ages of 18 and 100 with a diagnosis of cancer undergoing standard therapy with radiation may join.
