Double scan strategy aims to unlock prostate cancer secrets
NCT ID NCT06335914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involves 30 men with advanced prostate cancer who will receive two different PET scans (PSMA and FDG) to see how their tumors behave at different stages and during treatment. The goal is not to treat the cancer directly, but to gather information that could help doctors choose better treatments and monitor responses in the future. Participants must have a specific type of advanced prostate cancer and be willing to undergo the scans.
