Evaluating a genetic test for prostate cancer risk
Official title: Precision Medicine in the Prostate Cancer Care Pathway: an Evaluation of Integrating Germline Genetic Testing Into the Management of Men at Risk of / Living With Prostate Cancer
Run by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom · NCT04763317 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a genetic test to see if it can help men at high risk for prostate cancer understand their risk better and make informed decisions about screening and treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include men under 70 with prostate cancer, those with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or individuals with a significant family history of prostate cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a WHO performance status of 4 will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of a prostate cancer-specific genetic panel test in men who are at high risk for developing prostate cancer. By analyzing DNA samples, the study aims to identify mutations in rare genes and common genetic variations that may indicate an increased risk of prostate cancer. The findings will help evaluate how this genetic information impacts risk assessment and clinical management, including screening and treatment decisions for prostate cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide personalized risk assessments for prostate cancer, leading to better screening and treatment strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using genetic testing for cancer risk assessment, indicating that this approach may be beneficial.
