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 trial studies how well “active surveillance” works for men with prostate cancer who are considered higher risk because of family history or genetics. It aims to safely monitor the cancer and decide the best timing for treatment if needed, while tracking side effects and follow-up success.
This study looks at how prostate cancer is found and treated in Algeria. The goal is to learn more about the disease to improve care for future patients.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic daily can help lower the amount of a specific pesticide, called chlordecone (or Kepone), in your blood. If you live in Martinique and have been exposed to this pesticide, this study might help show if probiotics are a safe and effective way to reduce that exposure.
