Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients aged 18 and older who are highly suspicious for prostate cancer based on specific PSA levels or family history.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of other malignant tumors or severe liver and kidney dysfunction may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the use of a radionuclide labeled molecular probe, 99mTc-P137, in conjunction with SPECT/CT imaging to enhance the diagnostic accuracy for prostate cancer. The research aims to optimize imaging techniques and clinical diagnosis processes, focusing on early detection, accurate tumor staging, and treatment decision-making. By analyzing patients who meet specific inclusion criteria, the study seeks to establish the clinical value of this innovative imaging approach in identifying prostate cancer lesions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate and earlier detection of prostate cancer, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific use of 99mTc-P137 is novel, similar imaging approaches have shown promise in enhancing prostate cancer diagnostics.
