Study Summary

This trial studies how well 7 Tesla MRI works in diagnosing cognitive impairment in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer who have or have not received ADT.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with non-metastatic prostate cancer, divided into two groups: those currently on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and those who've never had ADT. Participants must be able to consent, complete cognitive tests on an iPad, and have no severe kidney issues or incompatible medical devices like pacemakers. They shouldn't have heart failure, recent heart attacks, other active cancers, a history of metal work in the eyes or dementia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if a high-powered MRI scan called 7 Tesla can detect cognitive changes in patients with prostate cancer. It compares brain images from patients receiving ADT to those not on this treatment to see if there's more 'brain fog' or cognitive dysfunction associated with ADT.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the 7 Tesla MRI itself doesn't involve medication and thus has minimal side effects, it may cause discomfort due to loud noises during scanning or feelings of claustrophobia. Patients with certain implants cannot participate due to magnetic interference.
