Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To explore the performance of these models in predicting upgrading and upstaging prior to surgery. II. To explore the performance of these models in improving risk stratification among patients eligible for active surveillance. III. To determine whether prostatic massage or surgery raises the count of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in post-digital rectal exam (DRE) blood specimens.
OUTLINE: Patients receive prostatic massage and undergo a digital rectal exam (DRE). Laboratory assessments are performed and blood samples are collected for molecular biology testing. On the day of the scheduled prostatectomy, a second blood collection is performed prior to surgery.
