PET scan vs. MRI for prostate cancer diagnosis
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of imaging scans (a PSMA PET scan and an MRI) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for prostate removal surgery and haven't started cancer treatment yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy
- You have not received any treatment for prostate cancer yet
- You are willing to have prostate removal surgery within 28 days after the PET scan
- You have no other type of cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special imaging test (PET/MRI) to look at prostate cancer in detail before surgery. The goal is to see if this imaging can help choose the best treatment, possibly sparing healthy tissue.
This study tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET/MRI) combined with a standard MRI can better detect prostate cancer. It is for men who have not had a biopsy yet and are suspected of having prostate cancer.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
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 compares two types of PET scans—one using a new tracer called [18F]F-PSMA-N5 and another using an existing tracer called [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11—to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, including early signs of recurrence. If you have or are suspected of having prostate cancer, this study may help determine how advanced the disease is.
This trial tests whether a special PET/MRI scan can better see the extent of prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to help doctors plan more precise treatment.
