Brief Title: Establishment and Clinical Assessment of a Prostate Cancer (PCa) Risk Model Based on the Updated Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Detection Technique
Official Title: Establishment and Clinical Assessment of a Prostate Cancer (PCa) Risk Model Based on the Updated Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Detection Technique
Study ID: NCT02940977
Brief Summary: 1. To elucidate the role of CTC detection in the evaluation of risk level in PCa patients, and establish a mathematic model for predicting the pathological status. 2. To explore the possible subtle change in CTC condition after radical prostatectomy.
Detailed Description: 1. Detect and evaluate the CTC status (a total of 3 times: 1 day before sugery, 3/12 months after surgery) for all of the PCa patients enrolled. Analyze the CTC result with PSA level, needle biopsy and radiological imaging information. 2. Analyze the difference in CTC amount/Epithelial-Mesenchymal ratio between patients in different D'Amico risk level(low/intermediate/high). 3. Establish a mathematic model based on the CTC results and pathological condition observed in operation (OC, organ confined; EPE, extraprostatic extension; SVI, seminal vesicle invasion; LNI, lymph node invasion), and compare this model with the latest version of Partin table. 4. Detect and compare the CTC and PSA level 3/12 months after surgery. Evaluate the radiological condition in 12 months after blood draw.
