PATROL Study: Prostate Cancer Screening for People AT Genetic Risk FOr Aggressive Disease

About the Study

The PATROL ( Cancer Screening for People AT Genetic Risk FOr Aggressive Disease) study is for people at risk for cancer because they carry one or more genes that are known or suspected to increase cancer risk: , , , , , , , , , , , or .

This is a good study for people who wish to be proactive about their care and contribute to studying new ways of monitoring for cancer risk, including studying new markers for finding cancer early. Participation involves study visits approximately once a year with physical exam, blood tests (including ) and urine test. Biopsies and imaging may be advised based on exam and blood test results. There are also patient questionnaires. Contact [email protected] or go to http://sites.uw.edu/patrolstudy for more information.

What the Study Involves

The PATROL study is an early-detection screening study. Study procedures include annual clinic visit, ( Specific Antigen) blood test, and imaging as deemed necessary by your doctor. A biopsy may be recommended based on age and if you are:

  • under 50, with a over 1.0 ng/mL
  • between 50 and 59 with a over 1.5 ng/mL
  • over 60 with a over 2.0 ng/mL

At each annual PATROL visit, participants will be asked to fill out a survey, and blood and urine samples will be collected for the PATROL biorepository. The annual visits and collections will be conducted for 10 years after enrollment. For people who are diagnosed with cancer during the study, the medical care plan will be determined by the patient’s urologist and medical team.
