Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Adult patients (older than 18 years at time of treatment) with high risk prostate cancer who were treated with proton therapy at UFHPTI/Department of Radiation Oncology * Patients treated between 6/10/2010 through 4/26/17 with at least 2 years follow up
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry of tumor cell proteins will be performed on prostate biopsies to detect for androgen receptors and other protein products related to oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes thought to play a role in radiation or ADT. | 2 years follow up |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| DNA sequencing will be performed on prostate tumor DNA to determine the mutational status of several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes including genes coding androgen receptors. | 2 years follow up |
| RNA sequencing will be performed on several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes including genes coding androgen receptors to detect RNA expression including genes related to the androgen receptor. | 2 years follow up |
