Summary

This trial will use PET scans with a radiotracer to see if it can more accurately find where prostate cancer has spread in the body.

Who is the study for?
Men with confirmed prostate cancer showing progression through new bone lesions, increased soft tissue disease, or rising PSA levels. They must have visible cancer signs on CT, MRI, or bone imaging and functionally adequate kidneys and liver. Those with severe kidney issues, past severe reactions to the PET scan tracers, or significant liver dysfunction cannot join.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two PET scan radiotracers: [18F]-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (FDG) and [18F] Dihydro-Testosterone (FDHT), to see if they can more accurately detect where prostate cancer has spread in the body compared to current methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the tracers used for PET scans. However, since this study focuses on diagnostic procedures rather than treatment drugs, fewer side effects are expected compared to therapeutic trials.
