PSMA PET scans before HIFU for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special scan called a PSMA PET scan can help doctors better plan treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer. If successful, it may help target the cancer more precisely and reduce side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer.
- You are 70 years or older.
- Your doctor expects you to live more than 5 more years.
- The cancer is at an early stage and low to intermediate risk (PSA less than 20, ISUP grade 2 on one side of the prostate or less).
- You have a single suspicious lesion on MRI (PIRADS 3, 4, or 5) and a prostate volume under 150 ml.
- You are not currently on any other treatment for prostate cancer (based on the trial's focus on HIFU).

This trial uses a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to check if prostate cancer returns after focused treatment (focal therapy). It may help find any remaining cancer that standard scans miss.
This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to check if prostate cancer has come back after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. It aims to find any remaining cancer early so doctors can plan next steps.
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 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 trial tests a high-precision scan that uses a prostate cancer marker to show where cancer may be. The goal is to use the scan results to better plan treatment, especially around surgery and lymph nodes, in certain patients with prostate cancer.
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
