Brief Title: Magnetic Resonance Whole Body Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Finding Bone or Lymph Node Metastasis in Participants With High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Comprehensive Staging Tool for the Evaluation of High-Risk Prostate Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT03085043
Brief Summary: This trial studies how well magnetic resonance whole body diffusion-weighted imaging works in finding cancer that has spread to the bone or lymph nodes (metastasis) in participants with high-risk prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as magnetic resonance whole body diffusion-weighted imaging (a method to show how water moves in a certain area) may help find bone or lymph nodes metastasis.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare accuracies of whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus bone scan plus computed tomography (CT) scan in detecting bone or lymph node metastasis in high risk prostate cancer patients. OUTLINE: Participants undergo standard of care bone scan, CT of the abdomen and pelvis, and pelvic MRI. Participants also undergo magnetic resonance whole body (WB)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) over 20-30 minutes.
