New PET scan could sharpen prostate cancer staging and cut recurrence

NCT ID NCT06003556

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a newer PSMA PET scan to the standard MRI for staging prostate cancer in men eligible for focal therapy (treatment that targets only the tumor). About 138 men with early-stage prostate cancer will be randomly assigned to get the PSMA PET scan or not. The goal is to see if the PET scan finds cancer on both sides of the prostate more accurately, which could reduce the chance of cancer coming back after treatment.
