Intra-operative PSMA PET-CT for high-risk prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a special PET-CT scan taken during prostate removal surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer. The scan may help surgeons see cancer more clearly and remove it more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
This trial is testing whether a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) before surgery can help doctors decide if you need to remove lymph nodes. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have robot-assisted prostate removal.
This Phase 3 study checks whether a PSMA PET/CT scan (using a special tracer) can help doctors make better decisions for people with prostate cancer after treatment, based on PSA blood test changes. It may help identify whether cancer has spread or how to plan next steps.
This study allows people with prostate cancer to get a special PET scan that finds cancer cells. The scan helps doctors plan the best treatment. You may qualify if your PSA is rising or you have high-risk prostate cancer.
This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA-PET) plus MRI is better than MRI alone at finding the full extent of high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to improve surgical planning by checking scan results against the removed prostate tissue.
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
