First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether a special tracer made of tiny silica nanoparticles can safely help identify prostate cancer cells before and during surgery. The tracer is designed to attach to cancer cells and show up on both PET/MRI scans and a special camera used in the operating room. The goal is to see if this approach finds more cancer than standard scans alone. The study involves 16 men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
