Prostate Cancer study: PSMA PET/CT scan
Official title PSMA PET for Surveillance After Focal Therapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07115914
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether adding a PSMA PET scan to regular MRI scans helps find prostate cancer that comes back. It looks at how well these scans work together for men who had focal therapy.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have prostate cancer and have already had focal therapy.
- What's involved
- You would get both a PSMA PET scan and an MRI scan. These are imaging tests that take pictures of your body to look for cancer.
- Time commitment
- The source text does not say how long the study lasts or how many visits are needed.
- Time commitment: about 12 months
