Blood marker may predict prostate cancer relapse after radiation
NCT ID NCT03017794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a protein in the blood called chromogranin A (CgA) can help predict if prostate cancer will come back after radiation therapy. Researchers will measure CgA levels in 118 men before, during, and after treatment. The goal is to see if changes in CgA are linked to cancer recurrence, which could lead to better monitoring in the future.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinically localized prostate carcinoma, T1-T4 N0M0, any Gleason Score, any prostate-specific antigen (PSA), or Biochemical relapse with clinically suspicious (based on MRI or clinical examination) or biopsy-proven local recurrence in the prostatic fossa after a radical prostatectomy * ≥18 years old * Histologic diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma * Signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Biochemical relapse alone without clinically suspicious (i.e. no suspicious lesion on MRI of the prostatic bed) or biopsy-proven local recurrence in the prostatic fossa * Regional pelvic node metastasis (N1) * Distant metastasis (M1) * Concurrent or previous cytotoxic medications * Medical or psychological conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would not allow follow-up
