New scan aims to see prostate Cancer's next move before surgery

NCT ID NCT03976843

Summary

This study is testing a new type of PET scan to see if it can better predict whether prostate cancer will come back after surgery. Men with high-risk prostate cancer planning to have their prostate removed will get this new scan before their operation. Researchers will then follow them for five years to see if the scan's results accurately predicted who had their cancer return.
