Collection of Blood From Patients With Prostate Cancer

Background: * It is not fully understood why prostate cancer in some men becomes androgen-independent (no longer responds to anti-androgen medication), but genetics likely plays an important role. * Genes contain the hereditary information that is passed down from parents to children. Although everyone has the same set of genes, individuals can have different forms of the same gene. * Differences in genes may explain, at least in part, why some people develop a more aggressive form of prostate cancer than others. Objectives: -To obtain blood samples from patients with prostate cancer to try to identify gene differences associated with progression to the androgen independent state. Eligibility: -All participants participating in NCI prostate cancer protocols. Design: * Participants with prostate cancer are evaluated in the NCI s Medical Oncology Clinic. * Blood samples are collected at the initial visit or at follow-up visits. * DNA (genetic material) and white blood cells are extracted from these samples to be used for genotyping and establishment of cell lines. * Gene variations are correlated with prostate cancer prognosis and prognostic indicators.

A Clinical Study of Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) in People With Metastatic Prostate Cancer (MK-2400-001)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

18F-DCFPyL PSMA- Versus 18F-NaF-PET Imaging for Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Few options exist to create images of this type of cancer. Researchers think an experimental radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL could find sites of cancer in the body. Objective: To see if 18F-DCFPyL can identify sites of prostate cancer in people with the disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have metastatic prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: * Blood tests * Physical exam * Medical history Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on their PSA. Participants will have 18F-DCFPyL injected into a vein. About 2 hours later they will have a whole-body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT). For the scan, they will lie on their back on the scanner table while it takes pictures of the body. This lasts about 50 minutes. On another day, participants will have 18F -NaF injected into a vein. About 1 hour later, they will have a whole-body PET/CT. Participants will be contacted 1 3 days later for follow-up. They may undergo PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) either after having a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, or in place of PET/CT imaging. A tube may be placed in the rectum. More coils may be wrapped around the outside of the pelvis. If the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT is positive participants will be encouraged to undergo a biopsy of one of the tumors. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. Participants will be followed for 1 year. During this time researchers will collect information about their prostate cancer, such as PSA levels and biopsy results. About 4-6 months after scanning is completed, participants may have a tumor biopsy. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. ...

Imaging Studies to Check the Local Response of Prostate Cancer to Radiation Therapy

Background: \- Radiation is a common treatment for prostate cancer. It helps damage tumor cells and causes them to die. Radiation can be effective, but some tumors may be harder to treat with radiation or even with surgery. This happens to a small number of men who have either radiation or surgery for prostate cancer. Most men who have these hard-to-treat tumors do not know if the tumor has recurred only in the prostate or has spread to another area. Also, men whose prostate cancer has recurred only after radiation may have different treatment options. This study will use improved imaging studies to better understand why some men do not respond as well to initial radiation treatments. Objectives: \- To use detailed imaging studies to look at the results of local radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Eligibility: * Men at least 18 years of age who are scheduled to have radiation for prostate cancer. * Men at least 18 years of age whose prostate cancer has returned after earlier treatments. Design: * All participants will have a medical history and physical exam. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies will be used to evaluate the cancer at the start of the study. * All participants will have an initial full magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the prostate. Tumor and healthy tissue samples will be collected. * Those whose cancer has recurred after treatment will discuss possible treatment options with the study doctors. * Participants who are scheduled to have radiation will have radiation therapy. This will be given according to the current standard of treatment. * After radiation, participants will have regular follow-up tests and imaging studies. They will have another full MRI scan 6 months after the end of radiation treatment.

Focal Therapy With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for Patients With a Single Prostate Tumor

Background: The current standard treatment of prostate cancer is either surgery or radiation. Typically, this includes either the removal or radiation of the whole prostate gland. Many people now seek out focal therapy options to decrease the side effects of treatment. Until now, several forms of physical destruction with heat (thermal ablation), cold (cryotherapy), sound waves (HIFU), laser (FLA), and electrical energy (IRE). A new type of radiation (SBRT) may be an effective way to cure men of early-stage prostate cancer with fewer side effects than standard treatments. Objective: To see how people with untreated localized prostate cancer will respond to focal therapy with SBRT. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with untreated localized prostate cancer (prostate cancer which has not spread outside of the prostate gland). Design: * Participants will undergo screening including blood tests, an MRI, a PSMA PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL), and a biopsy. * Small, non-radioactive, gold seeds about the size of a grain of rice will be placed in and/or around the tumor to help target the radiation treatment. * Radiation (SBRT) will occur in 2 separate sessions about 1 week apart. No sedation is used, these sessions are painless. Each session will take about 1-2 hours. Participants can go home afterwards. * Follow-up will continue for 2 years with repeat scans (MRI and PSMA PET/CT) and blood (PSA) tests. * After two years, a biopsy will be done to understand the impact of this new treatment on prostate cancer.

Low to Moderate Load Power Training for Men With Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a low to moderate load power training program is feasible and effective for improving fitness and quality of life of people with prostate cancer under androgen suppression therapy and bone or lymph node metastasis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a low to moderate load power training program improve quality of life in people with metastatic prostate cancer under androgen deprivation therapy? * Does a low to moderate load power training program improve power, strength, endurance, and balance in people with metastatic prostate cancer under androgen deprivation therapy? Researchers will compare the exercise program with routine care to see if power training works to improve common physical side effects of androgen suppression therapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Participants will: * Participate in a supervised exercise program twice a week for 6 months or maintain routine care. * Perform fitness tests and questionnaires about quality of life and mental health. * Those who take part in the exercise program will also perform semi-structured in-depth interviews after the end of the program.
