New scan could sharpen radiation targeting for recurrent prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT03582774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET/CT scan (68Ga-PSMA-11) can help doctors plan more precise radiation for men whose prostate cancer has come back after surgery. About 193 men with a rising PSA level will be randomly assigned to have their radiation plan based on either the new scan or standard imaging. The goal is to see if the scan improves cancer control without increasing side effects.
