Hyperpolarized Pyruvate (13C) MR Imaging in Monitoring Patients with Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies the side effects of hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate (HP C-13 pyruvate) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to see how it works in monitoring patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance who have not received treatment. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help visualize HP C-13 pyruvate uptake and breakdown in tumor cells.
