Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

4arms preference based Study to compare four therapy options in prostate cancer with low or early intermediate risk

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: radical prostatectomy
  • Radiation: percutaneous radiation therapy
  • Radiation: permanent seed implantation
  • Procedure: Active Surveillance
N/A

Detailed Description

The study will compare four possible therapy options for treatment of newly diagnosed prostate cancer with low or "early intermediate" risk according to the patients preferences.

The Following hypotheses will be tested:
  • Radiation is not relevantly worse compared to prostatectomy with regard to time to prostate cancer-related deaths

  • Permanent seed implantation therapy not inferior to prostatectomy with regard to time to prostate cancer-related deaths.

  • Active Surveillance does not lead to a significant decrease of time to prostate cancer-related deaths compared to prostatectomy.

That for patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer will be randomized into one of the four treatment arms. Randomization may be limited to at least two of the four treatment arms if a patient refuses one or two of the four treatment arms according to his own preference.

  2. - Time to onset of hormone therapy [17 years]

  3. - Occurrence of the first progression on hormone therapy [17 years]

  4. - Quality of life on EORTC-QLQ-C30 with additional modul PCA (EORTCQLQ- PR25) as well as HADS-D at baseline [before and 3 Mon. after therapy as well as after 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 13 years]

  5. - Complications / Safety [median 15 years]
