Overview
The purpose of this study is to compare the sensitivity of PSMA PET/MRI and standard MRI in detecting focal therapy failure in the prostate one year after High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate whether PSMA PET/MRI offers a higher sensitivity than MRI alone for identifying recurrence or failure in patients undergoing focal therapy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male patients 40-95 years of age with biopsy-confirmed localized prostate cancer.
- Grade Group ≥2 (Gleason score 3+4 or higher).
- Unifocal disease visible on mpMRI.
- Patients undergoing HIFU as part of their standard of care
- PSA <20 ng/mL.
- No metastatic disease on PSMA PET/CT
- Willingness to comply with follow-up protocols (PSA testing, imaging, biopsies).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of metastatic disease on PSMA PET/CT.
- Allergy to POSLUMA or gadolinium.
- Inability to tolerate MRI due to claustrophobia or posture/back-hip issues.
