Summary

This trial aims to see if regular PSMA-PET/CT scans can help doctors track how well treatments work for advanced prostate cancer and if they can help plan better treatments in the future. They want

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Participants will receive standard care and undergo PSMA-PET/CT scans before and after 6 months of treatment to track disease response.
What is being tested?
The study tests if serial PSMA-PET/CT scans can effectively monitor the response to therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, aiming to improve future treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves PET/CT scans, potential side effects may include exposure to radiation. However, specific side effects related to this procedure are not detailed in the provided information.
