Study genetics and family patterns of prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This is a study that looks at how prostate cancer runs in families and what genetic factors may be involved. It may help researchers better understand hereditary risk, whether you have prostate cancer or are a family member without it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man who has prostate cancer confirmed by a prostate tissue test (for the cancer group) OR be a healthy man without prostate cancer (for the control group)
- You must belong to a family where prostate cancer appears more often than expected (a hereditary prostate cancer family)
- You must be willing to sign a study consent form
- You must not refuse to participate

This trial looks at how inherited risk (family history or gene findings) relates to screening and treatment for prostate cancer. If you qualify, you may be offered prostate screening tests and follow-up to see how well risk information predicts next steps.
This study looks at how prostate cancer diagnoses and treatments turn out over time. It compares men who carry rare inherited gene changes that raise prostate cancer risk with men who do not, to better understand which treatments and outcomes may differ.
This study tries to personalize prostate cancer care by matching treatment decisions to a person’s specific risk profile. You might be able to join if you have certain types of prostate cancer or a strong family history and meet health-function requirements.
This study looks at your personal and family risk for prostate cancer and helps decide who should have extra screening like MRI. It may help you find cancer earlier if you are at higher genetic risk.
This trial offers a special clinic to help prevent prostate cancer for men who have a higher risk because of their family history or a BRCA gene change. You'll get regular check-ups and guidance to catch any problems early.
This study collects prostate tissue samples from men who are either at higher risk due to a gene change or are getting a biopsy or prostate surgery for routine care. The samples are stored in a biobank for future research on prostate cancer.
