Water pill could sharpen the picture in prostate cancer scans

NCT ID NCT05779943

Summary

This study is testing if adding a common water pill (furosemide) to a specialized PET/CT scan can make the images clearer for men whose prostate cancer has returned. The pill may help flush radioactive tracer from the bladder, potentially revealing hidden cancer spots nearby. Researchers are comparing scans with and without the pill in the same patients to see which method provides a better picture for doctors.
