Psma pet scan to clarify unclear prostate mri results
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special PET scan (PSMA PET) can better detect prostate cancer in men whose MRI results are unclear. If it works, it may help avoid unnecessary biopsies or find cancer sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- Your PSA blood test (a prostate cancer screening test) is between 4 and 15, and the test was done at least twice.
- You have had a prostate MRI in the last 6 months, and the result is uncertain (like a score of 3 or certain mixed scores).
- Your doctor's rectal exam feels normal.
- You agree to have a prostate biopsy (a small sample of tissue taken from the prostate).
- You have not had a prostate biopsy in the last 5 years and have never been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

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 whether using a special PET scan (PSMA PET/CT) to guide prostate biopsy can help find cancer more accurately and in real time. It might help men who need a biopsy because of high PSA levels or abnormal MRI results.
This trial tests if combining a PSMA PET scan with an MRI can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer than MRI alone. It may help men who have not had a prostate biopsy before and have certain risk factors.
This trial compares two imaging techniques—PSMA PET/CT and MRI—to see which one better finds and outlines prostate cancer tumors. You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which method works best for newly diagnosed 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 study uses a special imaging scan (PSMA PET/MR) to help doctors see if a second prostate biopsy is needed. It aims to make the biopsy more accurate, so you may get a clearer diagnosis and avoid unnecessary procedures.
