Prospective Evaluation of PSMA PET Imaging in Surveillance Post-Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer (PSMA-FT Surveillance Study)

This study is about adding PSMA PET (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen- Positron Emission Tomography) to routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to help detect prostate cancer recurrence in men who have undergone focal therapy for prostate cancer. PSMA PET and multiparametric (mpMRI are both imaging tests that help detect prostate cancer in the body. A PSMA PET scan, or prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography scan, is an imaging test that scans and takes pictures of the prostate. PSMA scans use a specialized radioactive imaging dye that sticks to the proteins that are typically found in prostate cancer cells. This imaging dye helps locate areas of prostate cancer anywhere in the body, both inside and outside prostate. An mpMRI, or a multiparametric (mp) MRI scan, is also an imaging test that scans and takes detailed pictures of the prostate. Unlike regular MRIs, an mpMRI produces a more detailed image of the prostate. Similar to PET scans, mpMRI scans also use an imaging dye that helps the pictures of the prostate appear clearer on scans. This study will be funded by Blue Earth Diagnostics, a molecular imaging company based in England.
