Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of the study is to provide pilot data on the clinical situations in which ordering a 18F-DCFPyL positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was thought to be clinically useful, and to document how the results of the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT affected patient management. The results of this study could then serve as a guide to help OHIP to consider these scenarios when deciding the precise indications for funded 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scans in the future. In this study the investigators will image subjects with prostate cancer using 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and record how the result of the study affected patient management.

• One of the following:
• CT scan showing indeterminate lymph node(s) in the pelvis that could potentially be treated radically with radiotherapy if found to be positive on PSMA PET.
