Comparing 18F-PSMA PET/CT to CT for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares a special type of PET/CT scan (using a tracer called 18F-PSMA) with a regular CT scan to see which is better at checking for prostate cancer spread. It may help improve how your cancer is monitored.

This trial compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, tracking its return, or spotting spread. It's for people with prostate cancer or those being checked for recurrence after treatment.
This study uses a special type of PET scan called PSMA PET to better understand and track prostate cancer. The scan helps doctors see where the cancer is in the body and if treatment is working.
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
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 study uses a special type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007 to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It's for people who might have prostate cancer, have been diagnosed, or need to check how their cancer is doing after treatment.
This study is looking at how well a special type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA PET/CT) can see cancer in people who have or may have certain tumors. It may help doctors better understand and track the disease.
