NCT ID NCT02526368
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study is testing a special MRI technique that uses a substance called hyperpolarized pyruvate to help doctors find aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this scan can tell the difference between high-grade and low-grade cancer, as well as normal tissue. About 80 men with prostate cancer who are scheduled for surgery will take part. If successful, this method could improve how doctors diagnose and plan treatment for prostate cancer.
