Brief Title: High Resolution, 18F-PSMA PET-MRI Before Prostate Cancer HIFU or Radical Prostatectomy
Official Title: High-Resolution, 18F-PSMA PET-MRI for Mapping Prostate Cancer in Patients Considering Focal High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Therapy or Radical Prostatectomy
Study ID: NCT04461509
Brief Summary: This prospective trial aims to determine if enhanced prostate imaging using two novel imaging technologies (high resolution DWI and 18F-PSMA PET-MRI) will detect prostate cancers not seen on standard multiparametric prostate MRI in patients considered candidates for focal HIFU.
Detailed Description: This is a prospective trial to evaluate the effectiveness of 18F-PSMA PET-hrMRI versus standard mpMRI at identifying prostate cancer targets for HIFU therapy. Participants with clinically localized, unilateral high grade prostate cancer (Gleason score 7-10 prostate cancer localized to one lobe on prior biopsies) OR at high risk for having unrecognized high grade prostate cancer (overall Gleason score 6 with \> half of systematic biopsy cores positive and \> 50% of core involvement in at least one core), interested in HIFU would receive both a standard mpMRI and 18F-PSMA PET-hrMRI. Participants would then undergo a mapping biopsy using a standard sextant template plus MRI/US-fusion targeted biopsy of any lesion suspicious lesion on mpMRI or PET-hrMRI.
