This study examines information from patients with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). By collecting biological samples (like blood, urine, and tissue), and health information (such as treatment, diet, and quality of life) researchers hope to learn more about prostate cancer and ways to improve outcomes in the future.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To create an annotated biorepository with prospectively collected blood and urine samples from men with advanced prostate cancer. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection, complete surveys, and have their medical records reviewed on study.
Inclusion Criteria: * Men of all racial and ethnic groups 18 years of age or older * Men with a diagnosis of advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer who are scheduled to begin a new systemic treatment (including first or subsequent lines of therapy) * Prior participation on clinical trials is allowed Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to give informed consent * Any other malignancy, unless previously treated with curative intent and the subject has been disease free for 3 years or longer
