Summary

This trial is testing whether a PET scan can measure low levels of oxygen in prostate cancer, which may affect how well treatment works.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with prostate cancer who plan to receive radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, or other systemic treatments. They must be able to consent and lie supine for an hour. It's not for those over 136 kg, taking disulfiram, or with MRI contraindications (unless the target lesion isn't the prostate).
What is being tested?
The study tests if a PET scan using a tracer called 18F-Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (18F-FAZA) can detect low oxygen levels in prostate tumors better than current methods. This could influence future treatment strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't specify side effects of 18F-FAZA, typical PET scan tracers may cause allergic reactions or discomfort at the injection site. The risk of radiation exposure from the scan is also present.
