Better prostate scans without a catheter
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of CT scan that can see the urethra without needing a tube (catheter). If you're getting radiation for prostate cancer, this might make your treatment planning more comfortable and precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer and are planning to have radiation therapy.
- You are willing and able to give written consent to participate.
- You would normally be able to have a urinary catheter placed (if needed).
- You do not have an active or suspected urinary tract infection.
- You do not have a narrowing (stricture) in your urethra or recent surgery there.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This research study tests a new imaging scan (called 68Ga-OncoACP3-PET/CT) to help find prostate cancer and see where it may have spread. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors visualize cancer cells and decide on the best treatment options.
This trial uses a special imaging scan (SPECT/CT) with a small amount of radioactive tracer to look at prostate cancer. It aims to see how well the scan matches your prostate cancer tests and may help improve detection and assessment.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that looks for a protein called uPAR on prostate cancer cells. It might help doctors see your cancer more clearly without needing surgery or treatment first.
This study tests a new imaging method (PET scan) that uses a special tracer to find prostate cancer cells, whether it's the first diagnosis or a recurrence after treatment. The goal is to see how well this imaging works for locating cancer in the body.
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 study tests a new type of PET scan (a detailed imaging test) to find out if prostate cancer has come back after treatment. You'll receive an injection of a special tracer and then have a scan that takes pictures to help doctors locate any cancer.
