Timing is everything: new scan strategy spots returning prostate cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT05678322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best timing for a special PET scan (rhPSMA-7.3) to detect prostate cancer that has come back after prostate removal surgery. Men with a rising PSA level will get one or two scans to see when the cancer is most visible. The goal is to find the cancer early so treatment can start sooner.
