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.
