NCT03418025
This pilot clinical trial studies how well the Exercising Together program works in helping couples cope with radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Treatments for cancer can cause side effects for the patient, such as fatigue, add stress for the spousal caregiver, and put strain on the marital relationship. The Exercising Together program is designed to promote teamwork and emotional intimacy during exercise, which itself can help manage fatigue and stress for the patient and spouse, and may facilitate communication between partners about day-to-day energy, abilities, and motivation.
NCT00007644
Radical prostatectomy provides potentially curative removal of the cancer. However, it subjects patients to the morbidity and mortality of the surgery and may be neither necessary nor effective. Expectant management does not offer potential cure. However, it provides palliative therapy for symptomatic or metastatic disease progression, avoids potentially excessive and morbid interventions in asymptomatic patients, and emphasizes management approaches for focus on relieving symptoms while minimizing therapeutic complications. The primary objective of this study is to determine which of two strategies is superior for the management of clinically localized CAP: 1) radical prostatectomy with early aggressive intervention for disease persistence or recurrence, 2) expectant management with reservation of therapy for palliative treatment of symptomatic or metastatic disease progression. Outcomes include total mortality, CAP mortality, disease free and progression free survival, morbidity, quality of life, and cost effectiveness.
