New treatment option for Clinical Suspicion of Prostate Cancer
Official title Fully Hybrid 18F-PSMA PET/MRI as One-stop Approach for the Diagnosis of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06305390
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This project aims to evaluate the role of fully hybrid PET/MRI with 18FPSMA and multiparametric MR imaging (mpMRI) as one-stop approach for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Our main hypothesis is that adding 18F-PSMA PET to mpMRI prior to biopsy, will reduce the number of false negative findings, while at the same time, allowing also to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies in patients with low-risk, clinically indolent PCa.
