Exercise for Tumor Suppressive Impact in Men With Prostate Cancer at High-Risk of Progression on Active Surveillance: The REMOVE Trial

Recruiting

Who can join

Ages 18 and older · Men

Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥18 years.
* Histologically diagnosed with localized prostate cancer.
* Initiating or undergoing active surveillance.
* Having a higher risk of progression, defined as meeting one or more of the following: (1) favorable- intermediate risk prostate tumor at diagnosis, (2) obesity (body mass index ≥ 30), and/or (3) self- identified as Black or African American.
* No plans for invasive treatment for their prostate cancer in the 12 weeks following the time of enrollment.
* Ability to understand and willingness to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Received any invasive curative-intent treatment for prostate cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy.
* Patients with metastasis and/or other active malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma) and/or receiving treatment for those malignancies.
* Participating in any (\>0 min/week) high-intensity exercise at the time of recruitment.
* Having chronic medical conditions that are clinically unstable or uncontrolled with medications, deemed high-risk for exercise. These include but are not limited to unstable cardiac diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, and bone metastases with imminent risk of fracture.
* Having a high risk for noncompliance with study procedures. This will be determined by the study team based on the history of missed oncology appointments (i.e., ≥3 no-shows in 6 months) and poor responsiveness during recruitment (i.e., ≥3 unreturned contacts).
* Patients who are non-English speaking and unable to complete the participant surveys.
