Characterizing the Aggressiveness of Prostate Cancer with Multi-Modality Imaging
Abstract
The goal of this research project is to demonstrate the ability of multimodality imaging to improve detection of prostate tumors and accurately determine their aggressiveness by comparing non-invasive molecular imaging to pathological examination. This project will study a total of 45 men with biopsy-proven prostate cancer. Prior to prostatectomy, they will undergo molecular imaging. After prostatectomy, sections of their prostates will be examined under a microscope by a pathologist. This examination is the gold-standard for characterizing tumors and will be used to establish how accurately the pre-surgical multimodality imaging assay was able to find tumors and predict their aggressiveness.
