Study Summary

This trial will use PSMA-PET and mpMRI with PET-MR technology to help plan radiotherapy targets while meeting all current planning criteria.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking men with prostate adenocarcinoma that's considered intermediate or high-risk. They must have confirmed diagnosis, be able to perform daily activities (ECOG status 0-2), and agree to release personal health information. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using PSMA-PET/MRI technology can help define radiotherapy targets in prostate cancer treatment without increasing toxicity, while still meeting current planning standards.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed, but the study will monitor the toxicity of using PSMA-PET/MRI technology in targeting radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
