Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy of FDHT-PET and Liquid Biopsies in Prostate Cancer

March 16, 2023 updated by: Markus Zeitlinger, Medical University of Vienna

Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy and Health Economics Considerations of [18F]-Fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT)- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Circulating Tumor Cells - a Pilot Study in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Prostatectomy in the Setting of Primary Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer, in Patients With Primary Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer, and in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Depending on the cohort of the study the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy and health economics considerations of [18F]-fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT)- positron emission tomography (PET) and/or circulating tumor cells in prostate cancer patients are studied.
