[18F]FLOR (FC303) PET/CT Scan for the Detection of Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial is to find out the best dose and side effects of [18F]FLOR (FC303) in detecting prostate cancer tissue when used with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging techniques. This trial studies a new imaging technique called [18F]FLOR (FC303) PET/CT to determine where and to which degree the [18F]FLOR (FC303) accumulate in normal and cancer tissues in patients with prostate cancer. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, [18F]FLOR (FC303). Because some cancers take up [18F]FLOR (FC303) it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in the body.
