First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a new imaging tracer, made of tiny silica nanoparticles, can safely help find prostate cancer cells before and during surgery. About 16 men with high-risk prostate cancer will receive the tracer and then have PET/MRI scans and special camera imaging during their operation. The goal is to see if this approach finds more cancer than standard scans alone.
