68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT Scan in Detecting Tumor Location and Size in Patients with Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: complete

This early phase II trial studies how well 68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan works in detecting tumor location and size in patients with prostate cancer. 68Ga-PSMA-11 is a radioactive imaging agent that seeks to identify prostate cancer cells that have a specific protein target called prostate-specific membrane antigen on their surface. A 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan may help doctors to better detect the location, extent, and characteristics of tumor, allowing improved planning of subsequent therapy.
