Characterizing the Aggressiveness of Prostate Cancer with Multimodality 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 for comparison with imaging data. Year 1 Progress: HREB paperwork completed; HRPO submission completed; Evaluation of sodium RF hardware and pulse sequence; Pathologist recruitment Year 2 Progress: Patient recruitment impacted by COVID-19 (1 study patient recruited to date); graduate student recruited; no-cost extension for third year has been filed with USAMRAA.
