An improved method to risk stratify men with prostate cancer prior to definitive therapy may reduce the over-treatment rate, while maintaining or improving mortality.\n\nDiffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a novel imaging modality that uses low-intensity, near-infrared light to characterize tissue. DOT analyzes the light being reflected and transmitted through tissue to generate three-dimensional images of chromophores and light scattering. As such, DOT serves as a functional imaging modality, measuring both tissue vascularity and architecture. The investigators believe that DOT will be able to detect prostate cancer in men suspected of the disease and will also be able to risk-stratify patients found to have prostate cancer to help guide treatment options. DOT may be able to directly measure two factors important in the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer: the Gleason score and microvessel density (MVD).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '99 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Men 18 years of age or older scheduled for transrectal prostate biopsy or radical prostatectomy at Columbia University Medical Center\n* Signing consent for study imaging procedure and analysis of prostate biopsy\n\nExclusion criteria:\n\n* Patients failing to meet the inclusion criteria\n* Contraindication for magnetic resonance imaging'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03215992', 'briefTitle': 'Optical Tomography in Prostate Cancer', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Columbia University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Diffuse Optical Tomography in Prostate Cancer Detection and Risk Stratification A Pilot Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'AAAL3709'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Men diagnosed with prostate cancer', 'description': 'This group will include men over the age of 18 suspected of having prostate cancer who will undergo an ultrasound guided transrectal prostate biopsy.
