Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: High risk prostate cancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
DCFPyL PET/CT will be compared to CT/bone scan for detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with high risk prostate cancer and planned prostatectomy or or radiation therapy
Group II: Biochemically recurrent prostate cancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
DCFPyL PET/CT will be utilized for detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, but with no evidence of disease on CT/bone scan.
