Brief Summary:
The goal of this study type observational study prospective study is to study prostate cancer occurrence and recurrence to specifically identify and localize tumor foci at the molecular level at an early stage to evaluate the prognosis of patients and to accurately stage not only intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients with a primary diagnosis but also detect recurrent foci in patients with biochemical recurrence to restage those who have developed metastases to assess tumor load and to ultimately assist in determining the personalized treatment plans The main question it aims to answer is whether 68Ga-PSMA PETCT PETMR examination is beneficial for assessing the
Accurate staging of patients with intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer at first diagnosis
Detecting recurrent lesions in patients with recurrent tumors for re-staging
Assessment of tumor load
Assessment of patient prognosis Participants will sign an informed consent form undergo 68Ga-PSMA PETCT PETMR before surgery or biopsy and have regular follow-up after obtaining pathological results of surgical resection or puncture biopsy 6 weeks after surgery or biopsy and then every 3 months the follow-up will include blood PSA whole-body bone imaging etc

Detailed Description:
1 Title of research programme Clinical application of integrated PETMR and PETCT in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer
2 Research background Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system Current diagnostic tools for prostate cancer include serum prostate-specific antigen PSA test transrectal prostate aspiration biopsy etc However these tools are often invasive When a patients PSA rises again after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer conventional CT MRI and bone scintigraphy do not have a high detection rate 11 Although multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging mpMRI is of undisputed importance in the T-staging of tumors it has limited diagnostic accuracy when applied alone and is less sensitive in the diagnosis of local lymph node metastases Currently PETCT has been gradually applied to different types and stages of prostate cancer With the popularity of integrated PETMR imaging combining the higher resolution and morphological performance of MR imaging with the N-staging and M-staging of PET the specificity of primary prostate cancer diagnosis can be greatly improved
Currently the commonly used targeted tracers for PET examination of prostate cancer include 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose 18F-FDG and 18F-11C-acetate etc but their imaging effects are not up to the ideal level PSMA is located in prostate epithelial cells and is converted to a membrane-bound protein in prostate cancer and PSMA expression is approximately 100 to 1000 times higher in prostate cancer tissue compared to normal prostate tissue PSMA is expressed at high levels in 95 of prostate cancer patients and is upregulated in castration-resistant prostate cancer CRPC and metastatic prostate cancer PSMA expression was also increased after androgen deprivation therapy ADT The use of 68Ga-labelled PSMA small molecule inhibitors can be specifically combined with prostate cancer cells and it is important for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and its metastatic foci through PETCT and PETMR visualization 68Ga-PSMA 617 was first applied to prostate cancer patients in 2015 Afshar-Oromieh et al conducted the first evaluation of the human biological distribution radiation dose of this contrast agent and found that there was uptake in the kidney and salivary glands and the detection rate of prostate cancer lesions was 737 1419 The best imaging results were obtained 2-3 h after injection with an average radiation dose of about 0021 mSvmbq
3 Research purpose This study is expected to be used for prostate cancer occurrence and recurrence early specific identification and localization of tumor foci at the molecular level and evaluation of patient prognosis Not only can it accurately stage first-time intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients but it can also detect recurrent lesions in biochemically recurrent patients Those who develop metastases are restaged to assess tumor load and ultimately assist in determining a personalized treatment plan

10 Subject screening numbers subject numbers and case report forms are maintained Participant Screening Number a 1-sequential number eg 1-1 for the first participant participant Number a sequential number eg 001 for the first participant Case report form retention information is entered into the CRF form by the project leader or other authorized investigator and only medically qualified investigators are allowed to complete the original clinical assessmentsafety data Any changes made to the CRF form by the project leader or other authorized researchers after the original data has been entered need to be documented Any modification of data that has been endorsed will require the name of the researcher or other authorized researcher who made the modification the date of the modification and the reason for the modification if the change is minor
11 Documentation of adverse events and methods of reporting serious adverse events management measures modalities timing and regression of follow-up visits
111 Adverse events Adverse Event AE is an unfavorable medical event that occurs during a clinical trial Clinical trial Any adverse event that occurs during the implementation should be faithfully recorded and analyzed for reasons Both anticipated and unanticipated adverse events should be be recorded and reported truthfully Adverse events should be included as outcome variables in the statistical analysis of clinical trials
112 Serious adverse event A serious Adverse Event SAE is a clinical trial event that results in death or serious deterioration of health including fatal illness or injury permanent defects in body structure or function hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization or the need for medical or surgical intervention to avoid permanent defects in body structure or function Events that result in fetal distress fetal death or congenital anomalies or congenital defects
