In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Preclinical models of prostate cancer have proved to be poorly predictive of the behaviour of the disease in patients. This protocol describes the acquisition of prostate cancer tissue or cells from patients with treatment naรฏve/hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer or patients undergoing diagnostic or follow up investigations. The knowledge gained will improve the investigators' understanding of the steps leading to the development of castration resistance and identify new molecular targets for treatment. The human microbiome has been under investigation in a range of human diseases (i.e. metabolic disease/obesity, neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, mental disorders, autoimmune disease, asthma and allergies) and cancer. The human microbiota can have direct (e.g. via direct genotoxicity, induction of chronic inflammation, etc.) and/or indirect (e.g. eff

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male \>=18 years. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 - 2. 3. Undergoing investigation for diagnosis, or with a proven diagnosis of prostate cancer and undergoing further investigation or clinical trial participation. 4. Patients with tumour deemed by the designated investigator as safely suitable for fresh biopsy AND who are medically fit (according to local practice) to undergo a biopsy or surgical procedure to acquire tumour tissue. 5. Willing and able to comply with the requirements of the sample collection including fresh tumour biopsy. 6. The subject is capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has given written informed consent. 7. A record of PSA levels within last 3 months. Exclusion Criteria: 1.

Any psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 3.
