Experimental Study to Evaluate the Impact of 18 Fluoro-PSMA (18F-PSMA) PET / CT in the Management of Patients with Prostate Cancer.

Experimental Study to Evaluate the Impact of 18F-PSMA PET / CT in the Management of Patients with Prostate Cancer.

Single-center, prospective, open-label, not randomized, diagnostic phase II trial in the management of patients with prostate cancer.

Single-center, prospective, open-label, not randomized, diagnostic phase II trial in the management of patients with prostate cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the additional diagnostic role of 18F- PSMA PET /CT (sensitivity) in patients with prostate cancer with biochemical relapse compared to other diagnostic methods routinely used. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity of 18F-PSMA PET/CT defined as the ratio between the number of 18F-PSMA PET/CT positive patients and the number of prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse and negative standard imaging.Patients enrolled in the study would benefit from a more accurate but above all earlier diagnosis of disease recurrence sites, thus being able to undergo targeted therapies, with a clear impact on the clinical management of the disease.
