Detailed Description
This will be a prospective diagnostic trial of screening for prostate cancer among men with genetic predisposition. The target population is males (40-70 year old) carrying a BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 germ line mutation. They will be identified via our Genetic counseling unit. All men after signing an informed consent will undergo the following tests: PSA, free to total PSA, MRI of prostate and prostate biopsy. The primary endpoint will be to estimate the prevalence, stage and grade of prostate cancer in this population. Additionally, the study aims to estimate the impact of these germ line mutations on benign prostatic hyperplasia. Furthermore, this study aims to create a bio-bank of tissue, urine and serum of this unique cohort for future investigations. Finally, this study will identify an inception cohort for future interventional studies of primary and secondary prevention.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Other: screening tests The screening will include: DRE, PSA , a multiparametric prostate MRI and a trans-rectal ultra-sound guided prostate biopsy/ MRI-US fusion , IPSS questionnaire, trans-rectal US assessment of prostate size, urine flow and residual. |
Other: PSA
PSA. Serum & plasma will be stored for future investigations
Other: IPSS questionnaire
the validated International Prostate Symptom Score
Other: DRE (Digital Rectal Examination )
physical examination for the prostate gland
Other: urine flow and residual
The post void residual will be recorded by using ultrasound. Creatinine level will be checked.
Procedure: a multiparametric prostate MRI
The MRI will be reported on a 5 point Likert Scale
Procedure: trans-rectal ultra-sound guided prostate biopsy
12 core Trans-rectal prostatic biopsy for diagnostic purposes

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Prevalence, stage and pathology of screen-detected prostate cancer in BRCA1/BRCA2 founder mutation carriers and Lynch mutation carriers [within 2 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Accuracy of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [within 2 years]
Other Outcome Measures
- Accuracy of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [within 2 years]
- Cost effectiveness of different screening tests (PSA, free to total PSA, prostate MRI) in detecting prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer among men with genetic predispositions. [within 2 years]
- Impact of genetic mutations (BRCA, Lynch) on lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS, flow and post void urine residual) and BPH ( benign prostatic hyperplasia). [within 2 years]
- Genomic and biological profiles in samples from BRCA and Lynch mutation carriers and characterize changes related to prostate cancer. [within 2 years]
