Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET Scans in People Prostate Cancer

Other illness

• Patient undergoing active treatment for non-prostate malignancy, other than skin basal cell or cutaneous superficial squamous cell carcinoma that has not metastasized and non-invasive bladder cancer

Other

• Unable to lie flat, still or tolerate a PET scan

• Patients with histologically confirmed prostate cancer, that is either: newly diagnosed OR progressive as defined by standard PCWG3 criteria. note that metastatic disease is defined by either bone scintigraphy or by CT or MRI, or a combination of these tests, but not exclusively by molecular imaging criteria.
  • Patients with newly diagnosed localized or metastatic prostate cancer are eligible, provided standard imaging (either bone scintigraphy, CT or MRI) demonstrates evidence of radiographic disease
  • Patient with progressive disease that is non-metastatic are eligible by biochemical progression: A minimum of three rising PSA values from a baseline that are obtained 1 week or more apart, or 2 measurements 2 or more weeks apart
  • Patients with progressive disease that is metastatic are eligible either by biochemical progression or radiographic progression or both
  • Patients are permitted to have had up to 2 months of prior hormonal therapy before entering this trial (and many therapeutic trials) and therefore, their progression criteria would apply to their pre-treatment imaging and PSA parameters Note: This criterion pertains to patients with newly diagnosed, untreated disease. This criterion does not apply to those who were already on therapy for metastatic CRPC.
• Karnofsky performance status of \>/= 50 (or ECOG/WHO equivalent)
• Male (or transgender female) \> 18 years of age
• Patient must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document
