screening tests
The screening will include: DRE, PSA , a multiparametric prostate MRI and a trans-rectal ultra-sound guided prostate biopsy/ MRI-US fusion , IPSS questionnaire, trans-rectal US assessment of prostate size, urine flow and residual.
|
Other: PSA
PSA. Serum & plasma will be stored for future investigations Other: IPSS questionnaire the validated International Prostate Symptom Score Other: DRE (Digital Rectal Examination ) physical examination for the prostate gland Other: urine flow and residual The post void residual will be recorded by using ultrasound. Creatinine level will be checked. Procedure: a multiparametric prostate MRI The MRI will be reported on a 5 point Likert Scale Procedure: trans-rectal ultra-sound guided prostate biopsy 12 core Trans-rectal prostatic biopsy for diagnostic purposes |
- Prevalence, stage and pathology of screen-detected prostate cancer in BRCA1/BRCA2 founder mutation carriers and Lynch mutation carriers [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
- Accuracy of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
- Accuracy of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
- Cost effectiveness of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
- Impact of genetic mutations (BRCA, Lynch) on lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS, flow and post void urine residual) and BPH ( benign prostatic hyperplasia). [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
- Genomic and biological profiles in samples from BRCA and Lynch mutation carriers and characterize changes related to prostate cancer. [ Time Frame: within 2 years ]
