New imaging method could sharpen detection of advanced prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT06450548
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a newer, dynamic type of PET scan can find prostate cancer that has spread better than the standard static scan. About 60 men with advanced prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone therapy will get both types of scans. The goal is to improve how doctors decide on the best treatment, such as targeted radiation therapy.
