Understanding Prostate Cancer Through Sample Collection

This observational study aims to understand the changes in cells and genes that lead to prostate cancer development and progression. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and fluid samples from men with prostate cancer to study these changes. The goal is to find new ways to treat prostate cancer. You can join if you are a man aged 18 or older with prostate cancer, or suspected prostate cancer, who is having diagnostic or treatment procedures. The study is ongoing and aims to collect samples for molecular mechanism research. There are no specific interventions being tested in this study.

Study design
This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 3000 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. You will also be asked to send tissue blocks of your tumor, if possible.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint of collecting samples for studying molecular mechanisms is measured at ongoing, so follow-up duration is not specified.
