Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men over 18 with high-risk prostate cancer, specifically those with certain clinical and histopathological criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to MRI or PET, claustrophobia, or those with metastatic disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This trial investigates the relationship between imaging properties from PSMA-PET and mpMRI and tissue characteristics through histopathological validation in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. It is an open, non-randomized, prospective multi-center trial conducted at Skåne University Hospital and Umeå University Hospital, focusing on improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment guidance. Patients with histologically confirmed prostate cancer who are scheduled for radical prostatectomy will be recruited consecutively for this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnostics and improve treatment outcomes for patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using advanced imaging techniques for prostate cancer, suggesting potential success for this approach.
