Monocentric Observational Study on the Diagnostic and Prognostic Role of 18F-PSMA PET (PET/CT and PET/MR) in Prostate Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
PET 18F-PSMA: Subjects will be subjected to a PET examination according to international guidelines and where requested by the specialist. In particular, patients will be administered the radiopharmaceutical 18 F PSMA. Approximately two hours after administration, the patient is positioned on the PET/CT equipment table and image acquisition begins.
Study summary
The general objective of this retrospective and prospective study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of a quantitative analysis of PET images with 18F-PSMA in all stages of the disease in patients with prostate cancer. To this end, both imaging parameters commonly used in clinical practice and the contribution of radiomic features will be investigated. The latter are quantitative features extracted from biomedical images, and are believed to be able to provide information, otherwise impossible to investigate, useful for the characterization of various pathologies. This methodology is very promising, but also recent and therefore little studied and standardized. Our objective is also to investigate how to optimize it from a purely methodological point of view.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- PET with 18F-PSMA for diagnostic accuracy for staging of prostate cancer. — 5 years
the role of a quantitative-semi-quantitative analysis for the characterization of prostatic pathology in different phases of the disease.
