New scan could spot dangerous prostate cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT04910425
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a special PET/MRI scan could better find aggressive prostate cancer in men with high PSA levels (2 ng/mL or more). The scan uses a radioactive tracer that attaches to cancer cells, making them show up on images. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
