Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Prostate cancer is a public health priority in men and the impact of this disease will be more pronounced with the aging of the world’s population. The aim of this study is to identify gene markers associated with the prognosis of prostate cancer to guide clinical practice.

Who can participate?
Patients with prostate cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

What does the study involve?
The researchers will obtain data on prostate cancer from public databases to identify genes related to the prognosis of prostate cancer.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no expected benefits or risks for the participants.

Where is the study run from?
Sichuan University (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2021 to December 2021

Who is funding the study?
1. National Natural Science Foundation of China (China)
2. Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province (China)
3. Sichuan University (China)
4. Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau (China)
5. West China Hospital, Sichuan University (China)

Study information

Primary study designObservational
Study designRetrospective observational study
Secondary study designCross sectional study
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titlePrognostic biomarkers in prostate cancer identified through bioinformatic analysis
Study acronymPBPCBA
Study objectivesThe prognosis of prostate cancer can be predicted by gene markers.
Ethics approval(s)All data is derived from public databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Thus, ethics approval is not required.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPrognostic markers of prostate cancer
InterventionThe Genematrix and clinical data of prostate cancer patients are extracted from the TCGA and GEO databases to compare tumor and normal tissue samples. Univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis is conducted to identify independent factors associated with biochemical recurrence and metastasis.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Genes associated with biochemical recurrence, identified through bioinformatic analysis of data obtained from the TCGA and GEO database from 01/12/2021 to 05/12/2021

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

There are no secondary outcome measures
