Sugar scan could sharpen prostate cancer Watch-and-Wait strategy
NCT ID NCT03933670
Summary
This study is testing a new type of MRI scan that uses a special form of sugar (called hyperpolarized pyruvate) to create detailed pictures of prostate cancer cells. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better monitor 60 men with low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer who are on active surveillance (watchful waiting). Researchers want to know if the scan can more accurately show how aggressive the cancer is, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
