Summary
This study tests a special PET/CT scan that targets a protein (PSMA) on prostate cancer cells to see if it can better detect aggressive prostate cancer compared to the standard PSA blood test. About 150 men with elevated PSA levels will receive the scan before their routine prostate biopsy. The goal is to improve diagnosis and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
