New scan could spot hidden prostate cancer spread
NCT ID NCT06675357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new imaging method called FAPI PET/MRI to see if it can find and track prostate cancer that has spread better than current scans. About 30 adults with prostate cancer will get two research scans. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and monitor the disease.
