Trial Information

Positron Emission Tomography in Prostate Cancer


The overall goal of this project is determination of the role of PET in patients with newly
diagnosed medium- and high-risk prostate cancer in whom the standard clinical and imaging
workup is negative. Thus, the incremental value of PET will be determined in this important
group.
