First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests a radioactive tracer called 18F-DCFPyL to see if it can better find prostate cancer that has spread or come back after treatment. About 360 men with high-risk or recurrent prostate cancer will get a PET/CT scan using this tracer. The goal is to improve how doctors detect cancer outside the prostate, which could guide more precise treatment.
