Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include men diagnosed with prostate cancer at any stage who can provide the necessary information for participation.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable or unwilling to provide the required information or do not meet the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The PROMISE Registry aims to establish a nationwide database of prostate cancer patients who have germline pathogenic variants. It will prospectively screen around 5,000 individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer through various methods, including tissue biopsy and PSA levels. Participants will provide saliva samples for genetic testing and complete a demographic survey regarding their health and family history. If a pathogenic variant is identified, they will receive genetic counseling to discuss the implications of the results.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance understanding of genetic factors in prostate cancer, leading to improved treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies focusing on genetic factors in cancer have shown promise, indicating that this approach could yield valuable insights.
