Summary

This prospective, non-therapeutic translational biomarker study will collect blood in patients with high risk localized prostate cancer prior to prostatectomy.

Eligibility

Age: 18 Years+Sex: MALEHealthy volunteers accepted
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Must have histologically confirmed prostate cancer.
2. Age ≥ 18 years.
3. ECOG performance status of 0-1.
4. Must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
5. Willing to provide serial blood samples for the study.
6. Willing to provide tumor tissue (prostatectomy for primary cohort; prostatectomy or biopsy for exploratory cohort) for correlative studies which will compare ctDNA to tumor specimens.
7. Primary Cohort: High-risk localized prostate adenocarcinoma defined as one or more of the following:

   o Clinical stage ≥ cT3a, Grade Group 4 or 5 (Gleason sum 8-10), and PSA ≥ 20

   \*Non-bulky pelvic lymphadenopathy and indeterminate findings on staging imaging (CT, bone scan, PSMA PET CT) are allowed if the surgeon believes RP is appropriate.
8. Exploratory Cohort: Men with a diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma and one of the following:

   * Localized prostate adenocarcinoma on active surveillance
   * Biochemically-recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma after definitive local therapy
   * Hormone-sensitive, metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma
   * Metastatic CRPC

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of another primary cancer within the last 3 years, except for non-melanomatous skin cancer.
2. Receiving androgen deprivation or other systemic therapy for prostate cancer.
3. Medical condition or social situation that may preclude adherence to the protocol.
