PSMA PET/CT for Assessment of Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Sponsor: British Columbia Cancer Agency
Summary
Prostate cancer (PC) is the third most common cause of cancer death in men. Most patients with localized PC will be cured with surgery or radiation therapy, but up to 35% of patients will have their PC return. Whether it has returned locally or distantly determines which type of treatment they will receive. Current conventional imaging modalities have limitations particularly at low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. This study proposes to use Fluorine-18-2-(3-(1-carboxy-5-\[(6-\[18F\]fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino\]-pentyl)-ureido)-pentanedioic acid (18F-DCFPyL) Positron Emission Tomography / Computer Tomography (PET/CT) scans which targets prostate-specific membrane antigens (PSMA) to detect where in the body the PC has recurred.
