low-molecular weight PSMA PET/CT imaging agent, in men with an elevated PSA following radical
prostatectomy.
low-molecular weight PSMA PET/CT imaging agent, in men with an elevated PSA following radical
prostatectomy.
18F-DCFPyL is a novel low-molecular weight PSMA imaging agent. A recent study of patients
with metastatic prostate cancer found that PSMA PET/CT identified more sites of disease than
conventional imaging with CT, MRI and bone scan. In this study we aim to investigate
18F-DCFPyL PET/CT in patients with an elevated PSA following radical prostatectomy. During
the course of this study, patients will undergo two 18F-DCPyL PET/CT scans. The first scan
will take place within 45 days of staging imaging and the second will take place following
six months of standard of care therapy.
