Imaging during prostate cancer surgery to remove cancer more completely
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a special imaging technique (called PSMA PET-CT) that may help doctors see prostate cancer more clearly during surgery. It could help them remove the cancer more completely, and it might give you a more targeted treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
This trial tests a targeted treatment for prostate cancer using PSMA imaging to guide ablation (removal) of the tumor. It may help men with early-stage, localized cancer that hasn't spread.
