18F-DCFPyL PET-CT Scan and Prostate Cancer

Overview

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of 18F-DCFPyL PET-CT for initial staging of prostate cancer in Veterans compared to conventional imaging (99mTc-MDP bone scan and Diagnostic CT or MRI). The primary clinical endpoint of our study is the percent of Veterans with prostate cancer in which the 18F-DCFPyL PET-CT identifies M1 disease at initial staging. Secondary Objectives: Frequency of the change in primary treatment plan after initial staging.
