Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

The investigators are imaging patients with prostate cancer using a new PET imaging agent (Ga-68-PSMA-11) in order to evaluate it's ability to detection prostate cancer in patients with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy and radiation therapy.

Detailed description

Imaging and staging of prostate cancer is critical for surgical and treatment planning. Patients with suspected metastatic prostate cancer will be imaged using Gallium-68 labeled PSMA-11 in order to demonstrate its utility. The investigators plan to utilize this data to obtain further approvals of the Ga-68-PSMA-11 compound, so that this agent will become available for clinical imaging in prostate cancer patients. In the biochemical recurrence population, the primary objective is to determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient and per-region-basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET for detection of tumor location confirmed by histopathology/biopsy.

Interventions

Patients will be imaged using Ga-68 labeled PSMA-11 PET to determine if the presence of metastatic disease. Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) is a protein expressed on prostate cancer cells that can be imaged using small molecules that target this protocol.
