Prostate Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This study examines information from patients with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). By collecting biological samples (like blood, urine, and tissue), and health information (such as treatment, diet, and quality of life) researchers hope to learn more about prostate cancer and ways to improve outcomes in the future.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To create an annotated biorepository with prospectively collected blood and urine samples from men with advanced prostate cancer. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection, complete surveys, and have their medical records reviewed on study.
