Summary

This study tests whether a special PET scan, done before prostate removal surgery, can predict if prostate cancer will come back. About 175 men with high-risk prostate cancer will get the scan, then have surgery, and be followed for up to 5 years. The goal is to see if this scan is better than standard imaging at forecasting cancer return.
