Full Study Name

GENPROS - Analysing outcomes after prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in carriers of rare germline mutations in cancer predisposition genes

Main Aims
  • To investigate whether PCa patients who carry a rare germline mutation have shorter CSS compared to non-carriers
  • To investigate whether PCa patients with rare germline mutations have a shorter biochemical progression free survival (bPFS) and metastasis free survival (MFS) after radical treatment for PCa than non-carriers. The study will also analyse progression free survival (PFS) and CSS from metastasis (CSS_M1).
  • To perform genetic profiling to investigate whether common allele profiles or specific common alleles also have an association with prognosis and treatment outcome.
Inclusion Criteria
  • Men diagnosed with prostate cancer
  • Known carriers of germline mutations associated with PCa risk
  • Known non-carriers of mutations in the genes above
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients under 18 years of age
  • Patients who are unable to give informed consent
  • Patients who cannot be traced (<6 months follow-up) or whose clinical data are not available
  • Patients whose genetic status is unknown
  • Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer through the IMPACT study
