Clinical Utility of 18F-Fluciclovine PET/MRI Imaging following Focal Cryo-Ablation of Prostate Cancer
Trial Status: administratively complete
This trial studies 18F-fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying the recurrence of prostate cancer in men who have undergone focal cryoablation. PET imaging uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to make images of tissues in the body and how they are functioning. The PET tracer used in this study, 18F-fluciclovine, binds or sticks more to prostate cancer cells than surrounding normal tissues, which can be seen on the images. MRI uses radio waves and a magnet to make pictures of areas inside the body. The purpose of this study is to see if PET imaging with 18F-fluciclovine helps to identify recurrence of prostate cancer.
