Genetic Testing in Predicting Biomarkers of Recurrence in Patients With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Surgery (NCT00977457)
Pre-Surgical EPS Biomarkers as Predictors of Biochemical Recurrence
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This trial studies the side effects and best way to perform genetic testing in predicting biomarkers of recurrence in patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and other body fluids from patients to test in the laboratory and collecting information about the patient's health and treatment may help doctors learn more about cancer and help predict the recurrence of prostate cancer
