OBJECTIVES: To report the baseline results of a longitudinal psychosocial study that forms part of the IMPACT study, a multi-national investigation of targeted prostate cancer (PCa) screening among men with a known pathogenic germline mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Men enrolled in the IMPACT study were invited to complete a questionnaire at collaborating sites prior to each annual screening visit. The questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics and the following measures: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Impact of Event Scale (IES), 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36), Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer, Cancer Worry Scale-Revised, risk perception and knowledge. The results of the baseline questionnaire are presented. RESULTS:A total of 432 men completed questionnaires: 98 and 160 had mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, respectively, and 174 were controls (familial mutation negative). Participants' perception of PCa risk was influenced by genetic status. Knowledge levels were high and unrelated to genetic status. Mean scores for the HADS and SF-36 were within reported general population norms and mean IES scores were within normal range. IES mean intrusion and avoidance scores were significantly higher in BRCA1/BRCA2 carriers than in controls and were higher in men with increased PCa risk perception. At the multivariate level, risk perception contributed more significantly to variance in IES scores than genetic status. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to report the psychosocial profile of men with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations undergoing PCa screening. No clinically concerning levels of general or cancer-specific distress or poor quality of life were detected in the cohort as a whole. A small subset of participants reported higher levels of distress, suggesting the need for healthcare professionals offering PCa screening to identify these risk factors and offer additional information and support to men seeking PCa screening.

- Abstract
Background: Men with germline breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) or breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2) gene mutations have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) than noncarriers. IMPACT (Identification of Men with a genetic predisposition to ProstAte Cancer: Targeted screening in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and controls) is an international consortium of 62 centres in 20 countries evaluating the use of targeted PCa screening in men with BRCA1/2 mutations. Objective: To report the first year's screening results for all men at enrolment in the study. Design, setting and participants: We recruited men aged 40-69 yr with germline BRCA1/2 mutations and a control group of men who have tested negative for a pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation known to be present in their families. All men underwent prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing at enrolment, and those men with PSA > 3 ng/ml were offered prostate biopsy. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: PSA levels, PCa incidence, and tumour characteristics were evaluated. The Fisher exact test was used to compare the number of PCa cases among groups and the differences among disease types. Results and limitations: We recruited 2481 men (791 BRCA1 carriers, 531 BRCA1 controls; 731 BRCA2 carriers, 428 BRCA2 controls). A total of 199 men (8%) presented with PSA > 3.0 ng/ml, 162 biopsies were performed, and 59 PCas were diagnosed (18 BRCA1 carriers, 10 BRCA1 controls; 24 BRCA2 carriers, 7 BRCA2 controls); 66% of the tumours were classified as intermediate-or high-risk disease. The positive predictive value (PPV) for biopsy using a PSA threshold of 3.0 ng/ml in BRCA2 mutation carriers was 48%-double the PPV reported in population screening studies. A significant difference in detecting intermediate-or high-risk disease was observed in BRCA2 carriers. Ninety-five percent of the men were white, thus the results cannot be generalised to all ethnic groups. Conclusions: The IMPACT screening network will be useful

Mestrado em Biomedicina Farmacêutica This report describes my activities as study coordinator (SC) intern, at the “Unidade de Investigação Clínica” (UIC) in the Oncology Portuguese Institute of Porto (IPOP). This training occurred during the second year of the Pharmaceutical Biomedicine Master at the University of Aveiro. My internship took place between 21st January, 2013 and 4th October, 2013 with the main objective to gain experience and expertise in oncology coordinating clinical trials. I present the state-of-the-art of clinical research with emphasis on current situation in Portugal as well as in oncology. At the beginning of internship I performed generic training in Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and Electronic Data Capture systems and familiarised myself with terminology and classification/assessment systems regarding the oncology area to support the clinical trial coordination activities in the context of the oncology protocols. In UIC, I participated in 6 phase II and 25 phase III clinical trials of 9 clinics of pathology: Urology, Gynaecology, Digestive, Lung, Soft Tissue and Skin, Head and Neck, Onco-Haematology, Breast and Paediatry. Within of these clinics, I intensively participated and acquired more autonomy in clinical trials of the Digestive pathology. The Onco-Haematology clinic includes the more complex procedures of the clinical trials protocols. As SC, I could intensively participate in the conduction clinical trial activities, namely: Randomisation Period, including Screening and Randomisation of patients, Clinic Visits and Monitoring Visits. The experience gained during my curricular internship was very enriching and enabled me to acquire professional and interpersonal skills and competences and to face unexpected situations, developing strategies to deal with them. Additionally, it was possible to consolidate and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during Master Course in Pharmaceutical Medicine at different stages of clinical trials coordination. In conclusion, during my curricular internship, I gathered the competences, motivation and experience to pursue a career in clinical research, particularly, as SC. Este relatório descreve as actividades como coordenadora de estudos estagiária, na Unidade de Investigação Clínica (UIC) do Instituto Português de Oncologia do Porto (IPOP). Este estágio foi parte integrante das actividades curriculares do segundo ano do Mestrado em Biomedicina Farmacêutica da Universidade de Aveiro. O estágio decorreu entre 21 de Janeiro de 2013 e 4 de Outubro de 2013, com o principal objectivo em adquirir experiência e especialização na coordenação de ensaios clínicos em oncologia. No documento é apresentado o estado de arte de arte da investigação clínica com ênfase na actual situação em Portugal bem como em oncologia. Na fase inicial do estágio realizei treino genérico em Boas Práticas Clínicas e sistemas de Captura de Dados Electrónicos e familiarizei-me com terminologia e sistemas classificação/avaliação próprios da área de oncologia para suportar as actividades de coordenação de ensaios clínicos no contexto dos protocolos de oncologia. Na UIC, participei em vários estudos de fase II e III de 9 clínicas de patologia: Urologia, Ginecologia, Digestivos, Pulmão, Pele e Tecidos Moles, Cabeça e Pescoço, Onco-Hematologia, Mama e Pediatria. Dentro destas clínicas, participei intensivamente e adquiri mais autonomia nos ensaios clínicos da patologia de Digestivos. A clínica de Onco-Hematologia, agrega os protocolos de ensaios clínicos com procedimentos mais complexos. Como coordenadora de ensaios clínicos pude participar intensivamente nas actividades de condução de um ensaio clínico, nomeadamente: Período de Randomização incluindo Rastreio e Randomização de doentes, Visitas Clínicas e Visitas de Monitorização. A experiência adquirida ao longo do estágio curricular foi muito enriquecedora e permitiu-me adquirir capacidades e competências profissionais e interpessoais e aprender a enfrentar situações inesperadas, desenvolvendo estratégias para lidar com as mesmas. Para além disso possibilitou-me a consolidar e aplicar os conhecimentos teóricos adquiridos no Curso de Mestrado nas diferentes fases de coordenação dos estudos. Em conclusão, ao longo do estágio adquiri competências, motivação e experiência para enveredar por uma carreira na área de investigação clínica, especialmente como Coordenadora de Ensaios Clínicos.
