Prevention
Prostate screening with MRI for men with Lynch syndrome (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) or a BRCA1, BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, NBN, TP53, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, or other mutation
Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer
The National Institutes of Health has a clinical trial for men at high genetic risk for prostate cancer. This is trial is for men without prostate cancer, ages 30 to 75, who have tested positive for Lynch syndrome (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) or BRCA1, BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, NBN, TP53, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, or FANC (FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCL, and FANCM). The trial involves screening MRI of the prostate every two years and biopsy of the prostate if the MRI is abnormal. There is no cost for travel or study-related tests.
Prevention
Screening study for people with a mutation linked to prostate cancer risk
PATROL Study: Prostate Cancer Screening for People AT Genetic Risk FOr Aggressive Disease
The PATROL (Prostate Cancer Screening for People AT Genetic Risk FOr Aggressive Disease) study is for people at risk for prostate cancer because they carry one or more genes that are known or suspected to increase prostate cancer risk: BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, BRCA1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, CHEK2, RAD51D, or TP53.
Prevention
Screening using MRI for men at risk of developing prostate cancer
MRI Screening in Men at High Risk of Developing Prostate Cancer
This study will determine if prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will find prostate cancer in men at high risk of developing prostate cancer.
Prevention
People at high risk for prostate cancer due to an inherited mutation
Prostate Cancer Genetic Risk Evaluation and Screening Study (PROGRESS)
This study will look at how enhanced prostate cancer screening using MRI will improve early detection rates and further understanding of how inherited mutations can lead to development of prostate cancer.
